The guards of Serbian prisons took pictures where convicts hide narcotics (PHOTOS FROM THE SCENE)
Toothpaste, gels, powders are the most common places where prisoners are trying to hide their unauthorized substances
Actress Teodora Viktorovic (39), who butchered her mother and grandma in 2015 and who is serving a prison sentence in Pozarevac prison, tried to smuggle drugs into prison after the visit of the unmarried husband Borislav Stamenkov, but the security of the prison prevented her from doing so.
She had a visit at the beginning of March from her unmarried husband in the special room for family visits, lasting three hours (so-called "Love room"). The members of the police knew that Teodora enjoys taking drugs since the age of 17, they suspected that she can't go on without drugs, so they decided to take her for an exam into the prison hospital. It was determined that she was hiding a bag of drugs in her anus, which was delivered by her husband.
Viktorovic is the last known case where the guards prevented smuggling of drugs into prison.
WAFFLES, PEANUTS, PEPPERS
Regardless of the routine checkups of the packages for the convicts, the guards are organizing the search of cells, in order to discover narcotics and other illegal substances.
- The convicts are trying to hide things in the wardrobe, in the mattress, in the bathroom, behind the mirrors, in the toilet bowl, in the room between TV and the wall if the TV is fixed to the wall, in the bed legs if they have a cavity... - they state in The Ministry of Justice for the enforcement of criminal sanctions.
The convicts are really imaginative. When the guards find out about the hiding place, the convicts immediately find something new. Those are various gabs, bed, sheets, clothes, floor, bathroom installations, places which can be bolted. There were examples that the phones were hidden in the double bottom of a slipper or a shoe.
Also, telephones were discovered in the holes in the walls, hitten behind the toilet paper hanger, or behind soap dispenser.
More serious criminals tried smuggling telephones in order to continue running the business and to maintain contacts, but also due to modern technologies and social networks, since there is no internet or computer in the prison.
The prisoners are mostly trying to smuggle psychoactive substances (in packages with food products, in toothpaste, gels, powders, clothes, all sent by families). If the illegal substance is discovered, the documentation will be created and the police are informed and they come to prison to take the drugs.
Also, in order to smuggle narcotics without being detected, they were placing the sealed packages into the bottom of the lid for jars, and also in the bags of snacks, which were again closed with the special machine, so you can't notice that they were opened.
WHAT CAN A PACKAGE CONTAIN
According to The Ministry of Justice for the enforcement of a criminal sanction, the prisoners have the right to receive packages twice a month and the individual weight must not be over 10 kg. The packages are inspected in the presence of the convict.
The package can contain: personal hygiene items, food items, fried, cooked meat with no bones, vegetables that don't spoil fast, cookies. The goods that are sent must not be easily perishable and susceptible to damage.
Food, plastic dishes, and other objects must be inspected in the presence of the convict before they are given to the prisoner.
Also, if the weight of the package exceeds the allowed 10 kg, the prisoner will take the items they want to accept. The other things will be returned to the visitor or the sender.
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT AND POCKET MONEY
According to the law, possession of using of a psychoactive substance is among the more serious disciplinary offends, which has disciplinary responsibility of the convict and the level of the risk. This means that the sentenced person will be moved from semiopen to a closed department.
They will be in the closed department until the disciplinary commission reaches the decision about disciplinary punishment. If the person is in the confined department, some of the measures are - ban on using the money in prison up to three months, and going to the solitary confinement.
Also, two disciplinary measures are enough to lose the possibility to be discharged early or to release the prisoner after two-thirds of the served sentence.
