New Zealand - Inmates looking forward to cannabis for Christmas will have to rethink their wishlist after a raid on cars and bags of visitors to Manawatu Prison at the weekend.

Corrections Department staff, police and drug dogs searched about 50 visitors at a checkpoint outside the prison at the weekend, uncovering a large quantity of the drug.

"We got a huge cannabis head. We even had a case where someone wrapped cannabis and taped it on to a green page of a magazine so that you nearly missed it when flipping through," Corrections officer Tracey Sinclair said.

Pipes and drinking bottles used for smoking drugs, were also confiscated.

After the search, prison staff raided the cells of the 281 prisoners and found more improvised smoking devices.

wow i hope everybody in new new zealand has food to eat and a house to live in if the government wishes to flush tax money down the toilet. so after the searches they spend hundreds of thousands of nzl$ on court cost and incarceration of those convicted of smuggling drugs in to prison and then more people can try to smuggle drugs to them next christmas and the cycle will continue.
