Texas police accidentally mail 25 pounds of pot to jail inmates [This Week In Smuggling]

See, police in Edinburg seized a thousand pounds of the stuff in a truck carrying fruit and veggies. By law, Texas police can’t let the produce go on to its destination, so they send it to jails and homeless shelters. Usually without the drugs still in it.

Employees working in the mess hall of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice’s Segovia Unit found 25 pounds of marijuana nestled in a crate of bananas and other fruits Friday. ... Prisoners — several of whom unloaded the produce from the prison delivery truck — were strip-searched to make sure they had not taken any of the drugs
