The direct method is to ask and bribe the prison authorities directly. The indirect method is for a prisoner to ask a friend outside to send food for the prisoner directly to a prison official at his home. Thus when the official gives the food to the prisoner concerned, the drug will be inside the food. Some high-level prison officials, and even the director of prisons himself are involved, directly or indirectly, in smuggling of drugs into the prison. For example, when a prisoner who is either close to the director of prisons or has given money to him as a bribe receives visitors, he does so in the presence of the prison director.
Nobody dares to check the food or other items given to a prisoner in front of the director.
In such cases drugs can be easily concealed inside the items that the prisoner receives. The price for drugs inside the prison is always at least four times higher than the equivalent price outside the prison. All prisoners are tortured very severely when they first arrive in prison, when they are learning the prison regulations and the standard positions. At that time the popular criminals and senior prisoners arrive on the scene. If they find any young adults among the newcomers, they call these youths to stay with them.
