Man jailed for internally smuggling mobile phone
Posted on 18 Jun 2009 at 15:00
A UK man has been handed an eight-week prison sentence for trying to smuggle a mobile phone into jail "internally".
Aaron Walker, 22, was being admitted to HMP Bristol for breaching release conditions from a previous offence, and was undergoing a strip search, as is standard procedure.
It was then that wardens discovered a metal detector was triggered by Walker, even though he was naked.
The inmate then admitted that he had hidden the phone inside himself, removed it and turned it over to prison staff.
He later admitted to an offence of "taking a prohibited item into prison" and was given an additional 8-weeks to serve consecutively with his outstanding 3-month sentence.
