Synthetic marijuana, also known as K2 or Spice, has been found in the Iowa State Penitentiary, Iowa's maximum security prison in Fort Madison, according to a local union that represents officers in the penitentiary.

The Iowa Department of Corrections acknowledged the presence of drugs in the prison on Monday. It is informing staff both verbally and through email the identification of the drug.
