Prison Guards Find Basketball Full of Pot

McALESTER, Okla. - Basketballs are usually puffed up with air, but somebody found a way of inflating one with a substance usually associated with puffing of another kind.



Oklahoma State Penitentiary officials cut into an exercise-yard basketball and found nearly two pounds of what is believed to be marijuana stuffed inside.


Acting on a tip from McAlester police, prison officials searched the yard and found the basketball, which held 30 one-ounce packets of the leafy substance.

Morgan said officials don't know how the basketball got on the prison grounds.

2. I would guess that they slit a hole in it
You could carry it around under your arm and no one would think anything of it. I'm guessing here.

3. My biggest point on the "war on drugs"...if we can't keep drugs out..
...of prisons, how the hell does anyone think we can eradicate them in the rest of society.

4. You are assuming
that those who control the prisons WANT to keep drugs out.
