Zero drugs in Carcar City Jail

DESPITE a jail filled with mostly drug offenders, there were no drug contraband found inside the Carcar City Jail in a 6 a.m. greyhound operation by jail personnel yesterday.

The two-hour inspection was conducted with Carcar City police and firefighters.

Deputy Jail Warden Jose Roberto Omapa said their strict security made it difficult for inmates to smuggle drugs inside.
