Drones and prisons: the latest history of delivering Raspberry Pi to prisoners, yeast, drugs and playing cards
Smuggling in prisons will exist as long as the correctional institutions themselves are functioning. People carry cigarettes and matches in the large intestine, hide drugs in clothing or food, and even try to pull prisoners out of prison in a suitcase . Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff Henry Martin in 2010 tried to carry heroin inside the burrito . In August 2015, prison staff in Costa Rica caught a pigeon with heroin .
The US Federal Bureau of Prisons sees a threat in drones : cases of delivery of packages of yeast, a Raspberry Pi microcomputer, drugs, playing cards and telephones to prison territory using drones were already in Russia, in the United Kingdom, and in the United States.
In January 2009, the county of Kent, Great Britain, raised the alarm when a toy radio-controlled helicopter was spotted over the territory . Prison staff are confident that the helicopter delivered drugs or mobile to prisoners. The option that this was somebody's joke was not excluded.

In January 2011, in the Tula region, police seized seven hundred grams of heroin from five suspects who were planning to deliver drugs to a detention facility using a radio-controlled helicopter. According to investigators, the drugs found would be enough for fourteen thousand doses.
The helicopter had to hang at the cell window for the prisoner to pick up the package. In addition to drugs, the attackers wanted to deliver cell phones in this way. The police detained the criminal group and found out that the process was managed by one of the prisoners at the remand prison - he ordered to buy a radio-controlled helicopter worth ten thousand rubles and a payload of one hundred grams for smuggling.

In Canada, Quebec, the drones began repeatedly delivering cargo to prisons in 2013. In November 2013, a small drone flew over Hull prison in Gatineau. The prison guards noticed him, but she didn’t find a package that he could drop, or the device itself.
In the same month of the same year, other smugglers in Calhoun County, Georgia, were less fortunate. Police arrested four people who attempted to smuggle nearly a kilogram of tobacco and several mobile phones into the prison.
In June 2014, a drone crashed into the courtyard of Whitfield Prison, the largest county in Dublin in Ireland. The device touched the grid stretched over the yard. The prisoner managed to grab a bag of drugs and swallow it, after which he went to a solitary cell to wait for the bag to come out naturally.
In July 2014, DJI Phantom quadrocopters tried to smuggle two Nokia cell phones and accessories, including headphones and headsets, and a Raspberry Pi microcomputer, to Khao Bin prison in Thailand.
The quadcopter was equipped with a GoPro camera and a Wi-Fi amplifier so that it could be controlled from a long distance. The plan failed because the device caught on a tree branch in the prison.
According to Thai officials, the phones in prison would be worth millions of baht. One million Thai Baht at the exchange rate for November 2015 - more than twenty-eight thousand dollars.
A quadrocopter landed on the territory of the prison of the Greek city of Larissa in August 2014. The engineers checked the device for the presence of a bomb, but found in a cardboard box glued with adhesive tape five mobile phones, charging cables for them, six SIM-cards and two pairs of headphones.
In March 2015, Bedford prison in the UK tried to smuggle a package of drugs, a knife, a screwdriver and mobile phones. The device DJI Phantom 2 Vision stuck in the barbed wire. The police assumes that the pilot tried to fly to the window of the necessary cell so that the prisoner tore the package from the drone.
Adam Bailey from the Association of Remotely Piloted Aircraft said that this attempt to deliver the package to the prison was idiotic. “The drone sounds like a swarm of bees and flashing lights, so you’ll definitely attract attention. In order to deliver something to prison in such conditions you must be an experienced pilot, which these guys were not exactly. ”
On June 1, 2015, the attackers attempted to transport two hundred seventy-two packs of suboxon, thirty cigars, three packets of marijuana, a telephone charger and three nails to one of the prisons of Puerto Rico.
In July 2015, a quadcopter attempted to carry mobile phones to prisoners of correctional colony number 3 of Magadan. The staff of the institution noticed a quadrocopter flying in the direction of a hostel for convicts, which were operated remotely, and tried to detain the offenders with the help of dogs. The pilots disappeared, and the quadcopter lost control and fell. Two mobile phones with SIM cards were taped to the device with tape.
At the same time, in the Komi Republic, prisoners hospital staff intercepted the Saf-Moment quadrocopter with yeast . In addition to the yeast, six SIM cards, a bottle of clear liquid and one hundred and one pink tablets, four cell phones, three chargers, three headsets and three decks of playing cards were on board. The suspect was detained.
On July 29, in Mansfield, Ohio, the drone dropped a pack of heroin, marijuana and tobacco onto the prison . The package caused riots in the prison, the guards had to use pepper spray to stop the fight between prisoners.
In August 2015, with the help of a quadrocopter, “well-wishers” attempted to smuggle to a prison in Maryland, USA, a pistol with cartridges, DVDs with pornography, tobacco, and many packages of narcotic substances. But the drone did not take off: the police caught the criminals while they were still in the car. In any case, their apparatus with a loading capacity of two hundred and twenty grams could not carry all these things, because one pistol weighs more.
On October 29, 2015, a broken quadrocopter DJI Phantom was found on the territory of a prison in Oklahoma. Among the cargo were two thirty-centimeter cloths for a hacksaw, a telephone, a headset, cigarettes, super glue and three bags of narcotic substances.
Some Canadian correctional facilities have already begun working on systems that prevent smuggling through drones. This year, the US Federal Bureau of Prisons sent a request for information on systems that allow tracking, identification and neutralization of drones, and made a number of requirements for such a system . The company Boeing has developed a laser gun against UAVs.
