How cell phones and drugs reach inmates

Senior Prisons Department officials explained to Pakistan's Daily Time the many ways cell phones were smuggled into jails:

Soap: Many visitors use bars of soap to smuggle small cellphones or drugs.

Homemade food: jail authorities sympathised with prisoners because they could not eat homemade meals, they never checked closely the food that the prisoners’ visitors brought.

Shoes Visitors smuggle in cellphone hiding them in their shoes.

Body cavities: You figure that one out or click here.

Another innovative carrier was reported from a Thai Prison, where a cell phone was smuggled in a dead toad which was thrown against a wall to retrieve it.

But probably the most alarming way for an inmate to obtain a cellphone is bribing a warden to provide one.
