A search operation carried out at Baie-Mahault penitentiary centre in Guadeloupe resulted in the discovery and seizure of several prohibited items. Prison officers obtained cocaine, cannabis, mobile phones as well as makeshift weapons.
This major seizure illustrates the difficulties encountered by the prison administration in combating the circulation of illicit products and prohibited items within detention facilities. Mobile phones in particular represent a major concern in the surveillance of detainees, as they enable criminal activities to continue to be directed from inside prisons.
