SA: Search uncovers contraband in SA prison

A 10-hour search of South Australia's Mobilong Prison has revealed a range of contraband
including a home made weapon and drug equipment.

Correctional Services Minister TOM KOUTSANTONIS says every prisoner, cell and common
area were searched .. with tattooing equipment and razor blades also recovered.

He says it's encouraging only a relatively small number of banned items have been found
.. confirming the impact of intelligence sharing .. use of latest technology and good
old fashioned determination.

Mr KOUTSANTONIS says it sends a clear message to prisoners that contraband won't be
tolerated in South Australian prisons.
