FCI McDowell contraband-smuggling arrests
Other July 1, 2026 · FCI McDowell
What the local press ran on this, in one place. I have not written it up beyond the headlines, and the links go to the outlets themselves.
Five arrests makes for a big headline. The useful question is who had access, how the contraband was supposed to get in, and which security failure actually mattered.
