Some prisoners at the Jackson County Jail in Medford, Ohio haven't exactly found religion in the Bible. They've discovered that pages ripped from the Bible make excellent rolling paper for smoking tobacco products and anything else they can get their hands on, jail officials said. Homemade cigarettes and tobacco are the most common form of contraband that correctional deputies find. But sauerkraut, lettuce leaves, coffee grounds and orange peels have also been smuggled out of the cafeteria, dried and substituted for tobacco. ''It's much more of a problem than drugs, although they still try that, too,'' said jail Sgt. Dan Penland. ''They do everything they can to find something to smoke.'' The screening process for inmates' mail has reduced the amount of contraband smuggled in over the years but the inmates can be creative. They even have a recipe for making alcohol with rotting fruit that is stashed away and stored. The concoction isn't as common as cigarettes, mostly because of the strong, foul odor that emanates when a batch is fermenting. |
