The Mississippi Department of Corrections is conducting massive, random shakedowns to reduce contraband at state prisons.

Five prisons, both private and state, have been searched. The most recent shakedown was at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman on Friday, March, according to a press release.

More than 150 shanks, tobacco, mobile phones, mobile phone chargers and other contraband was found on inmates or in their cells.

"This is a public safety issue," said Corrections Commissioner Marshall L. Fisher. "One shank or one cellphone is one too many. Officers routinely do periodic shakedowns unit by unit. But this is a show of force with a large number of officers both in and outside the agency searching units simultaneously."
