An exhausted pigeon wearing a small makeshift backpack was intercepted just outside walls at the Danilo Pinheiro prison near the city of Sorocaba, said a spokesman for the Sao Paulo State Prison Affairs department. The representative spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on the matter with the press.
"The use of carrier pigeons to smuggle cell phones into prisons is becoming almost commonplace," he said. "Guards now keep a sharp eye on pigeons as well as on inmates."

You can never under estimate the ingenuity of some of these guys.
-
that is genius. seriously.

that is classic prison ingenuity. People in prison with time on their hands will always come up with clever ways to exp the things they are missing outside.
