Drugs flow into Ohio’s prisons in ways that are both brazen and clandestine.

The brazen way is with visible and noisy drones making drops inside prison yards or provided by corrections officers themselves.

The clandestine way is when contraband is smuggled inside prisons on tiny pieces of drug-soaked paper.

Potent narcotics addict, and even kill, men and women trying to turn from a life of crime while housed in state-run, taxpayer-funded facilities, which are under constant surveillance.

In the words of one prison official, keeping narcotics out of prisons is "like playing a game of Whac-A-Mole." You close off one route and another one pops up.
