ooks with pages cut out in the shape of the contraband, no matter how
cliched they were.
‘Our Corrections officers are highly trained in detecting contraband in
concealed places, and (finding contraband in a deodorant bottle) is a
prime example of good intelligence work and detection,’ Mr
Koutsantonis said.
The contraband trade at Mobilong was driven underground earlier this
year after security cameras captured a man throwing tennis balls filled
with drugs over the prison fence.
The Tuesday bust was the result of a tip-off and search of Mobilong's
medium-security Angas Unit. The deodorant bottle was found in the cell
of a male prisoner who is serving time for serious criminal trespass, theft
and property damage.
The bottle appeared normal on inspection, but officers found two
electric motors used for tattooing and moisturisers inside the bottle.
Other items seized included syringes and 90 Champix pills, designed to
help people quit smoking.
Mr Koutsantonis said the prisoner had been moved to a more secure
unit pending an investigation.
He said the bust was one of several this year in the state's prisons.
Others included a drugs package at Adelaide Women's Prison in
September, cannabis, syringes, crystal meth, mobile phone and DVDs at
Cadell Training Centre in June and cannabis and heroin at Mobilong in
March.

No more secrets, we must protect victims
Sean Fewster, The Advertiser

VICTIMS of crime say 2010 must be the year South Australia sheds its
‘secret state’ reputation and puts their rights ahead of the privacy of
criminals.
A northern suburbs family has called for change because the identity of
the man who molested their 14-year-old daughter remains suppressed -
despite his conviction for indecent assault.
‘Our state has been full of secrets for a long time, from the Family
murders to the abuse of children in care,’ the girl's father said.
‘You can't continue to suppress names and let people walk away with their
crimes hidden. If (Premier) Mike Rann wants to go to the election saying
he's tough on crime, he should get rid of unnecessary suppression orders
and show respect to victims, not criminals.’
