I've heard of mail-order pharmacies, but meth?!

The meth-by-mail operation involved letters and postcards that were soaked in liquid methamphetamine and mailed into the jail after they dried.

"They would reapply water in the jail and use the crank that way," Horan said....

Dewayne Lee Nelson had been receiving the meth-laced letter from his wife, Janice Grimmett, who lives in Yuba City.

An alert jail employee spotted suspicious-looking letters in mid-April and investigators began intercepting Nelson's correspondence and monitoring his phone calls, Horan said.

1. they will have to start drug testing the mail

but the prisoner and his wife should at least get two points for creative thinking.

2. Beats stuffing a balloon up your butt!!!

That's really creative! Can you do that with pot?

3. Hash oil, maybe

P.S. Agent Mike: This is pure speculation on my part.

4. No, but you could use a delivery truck.

6. In a sense, yes.

But I'm not telling how specifically because I don't want a visit from the DEA.

5. Post cards?

Well, I guess if you are using meth, you really don't mind ingesting everything that a postcard comes in contact with as it travels through the USP system.

The article says that they both injected and swallowed it, where were they getting syringes from?

How big is the Yuba County Jail? No one noticed a change in Nelson and friends' behavior?

7. Not that big

it's a country-cousin town north of Sac. I think the guy said they "could" drink or inject it. Then again, this was one of the clueless people who let it happen in the first place.

9. Thanks, interesting story all around

8. Sounds like the perfect solution for getting acid into prison

Though I don't think I'd want to dose in prison.
