Prohibition profiteering

The prison industrial complex at work spending your tax dollars.

A jail guard is arrested for engaging in a contraband scheme for bringing cigarettes into the facility, where smoking is forbidden, in exchange for marijuana obtained through the inmates.

A little lesson in prohibition here. Cigarettes - a legal drug worth at most $7.50 a pack on the outside - are worth $100 a pack in prison.
