And I thought, oh, I get it.

The people that come and go are the guards.

Those are the ones that go out.

They get the packages.

They bring them in.

And I've spoken to guards who said, you know, we make $36,000 a year without the drugs, without the cell phones.

So, of course, we got to sell the cell phones and the drugs because that takes us up to 70 or 75,000.

What are they getting them?

Well, there's – originally, right, it was sort of more traditional drugs and people were using heroin and using whatever they could get a hold of.

But as the drugs have gotten more complicated and easier to bring in, now they can actually put – there's a drug called Flaco, which is a very –

A significant problem there.

Fentanyl, obviously, also.

But these drugs can be brought in on a piece of paper.

So somebody could send you a letter and it could be in the letter.

They can actually put the drug into the paper.

Sort of like acid when they put acid on paper.

Yeah.

And and so, you know, there's this effort to kind of stop.

But then does it lead to people being unable to communicate with their loved ones?

Ultimately, the easiest way to get the drugs is for the officers to sell the drugs.
