The search, aimed at maintaining security and order within the correctional facility, has once again shed light on the persistent challenges faced by prison officials in their ongoing efforts to prevent contraband from infiltrating correctional institutions.
Under the watchful eyes of the prison staff, the comprehensive search operation unfolded throughout various sections of the Mazaruni Prison. This proactive measure aimed to deter illegal activities and ensure the safety of both inmates and prison personnel.
During the operation, prison officers discovered a range of prohibited items hidden in various locations within the facility. The seized items include improvised weapons, cell phones, and other contraband.

Other prohibited items found were one cellular phone, three nails, four lighters, one bottle of fermented wine, one smoking utensil, 14 cigarettes, and two grams of cannabis.
