The Tennessee Department of Correction has banned jars of peanut butter from state prisons because inmates were using them to conceal drugs and guns. Department investigators found that George Hyatte, an inmate accused in the shooting death of an officer during a bold courthouse escape last year, used a peanut butter jar to hide a cell phone that he used to coordinate his escape, the department said last week. In an unrelated search, officers found a .32-caliber pistol and ammunition in another inmate's peanut butter jar. Correction Commissioner George Little announced that the department was confiscating all 18-ounce jars from inmates, who were allowed to buy them from prison commissaries. The jars would be replaced with 1-ounce condiment packets. |
