A wide range of street and presciption drugs have been seized after a failed attempt by an inmate to sneak them into the Dorchester Penitentiary.
The drugs included Dilaudid, Imovane/Ambien, Steroids, Atavan, Mirtzapine, Remeron, Marijuana and tobacco. The estimated institutional value of this seizure is $19,000.
The jail currently uses scanners and drug dogs to try and stem the flow of contraband into the medium-security facility.
