The Department of Correctional Services has condemned the recent alleged attempt to smuggle 30 Mandrax tablets into Modderbee Correctional Centre.
This follows the discovery that a 36-year-old was in possession of the drugs at the main entrance while attempting to visit the facility.
According to Correctional Services national spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo, the contraband was confiscated by an official during a search at the access control point.
“Our commitment to maintaining safe and secure correctional facilities is unwavering. Enhanced security measures are part of our ongoing efforts to protect our communities, officials, and inmates in our facilities.
“Our efforts to curb smuggling and improve inmate discipline are ongoing, and we will continue to adapt and improve our strategies,” said Nxumalo.
