I’d be lying if I said it didn’t think it was possible that prisoners would use pigeons to smuggle drugs. When your in jail you have plenty of time to think of way’s of skirting the system.

SARAJEVO (AFP) - Bosnian police have impounded a pigeon after discovering prisoners used it to smuggle drugs into one of the country’s highest security jails, an official said Thursday.

“The guards suspected the animal might be involved in drug smuggling once they noticed four prisoners visibly intoxicated shortly after the pigeon landed on a prison window,” Zenica prison official Josip Pojavnik told AFP.

Before you bash prison guards, if they weren’t caught we wouldn’t know about it. So indeed it has been brought to light.

The incident had prompted the prison administration to consider closing down a prisoner pigeon-breeding project established in a ward of the jail as part of a rehabilitation programme, he added.
