Dangerous ‘drug’ trend infiltrating Florida prisons

Another bench mark for Florida- inmates ingesting insecticides to get a high. I can’t imagine how that would work, and it can’t be healthy. Shouldn’t be surprised, really. Anything for a buzz.

In Florida prisons, inmates were discovered using chemically-laced papers as a dangerous new way to get high, officials said Tuesday.

Polk County Sheriff’s deputies made the discovery last week during a search at the county jail, according to FOX 35 Orlando.

Seems people were spraying the ant and roach poison onto sheets of paper, smuggling it into county jails and giving it to inmates. The paper is then smoked or eaten by the inmates.

“Who would think to do this? When the chemicals are infused on the paper, then they eat it or smoke it,” Judd said at a news conference. “Are you kidding me?”

Several others were also arrested for using a similar method to smuggle K2 and synthetic amphetamines into a Polk County Jail, according to FOX 35 Orlando. In that particular case, Judd said family or friends of the inmates were spraying chemicals onto sheets of paper, including legal documents, letters or Bible verses, and smuggling into the jails.

Deputies discovered the chemically laced papers were being smuggled in with legal documents when family of the inmates were meeting with attorneys.

Judd had a message for the attorneys: “The criminals inside are trying to take advantage of you.”

If people will inject “krokodil,” I suppose ingesting pesticides is pretty tame. The entire article can be viewed here –>Fox News Link

    1. Now I need to go smoke some bath salts and eat a dude’s face.

      (That was Florida too, you’ll recall) 🙂

    2. You speak truth Mason. I remember in Iraq our supply sergeant had to keep cans of computer keyboard duster logged as a controlled item and secured in a locked storage unit. The active ingredient is difluoroethane which is much prized by the inhalant community of self-abusers.

      A Specialist in another unit was so dependent on alcohol she bought some in the black market and went on a bender. Next morning she didn’t show up for duty and her supervisor found her passed out. She was reduced from E-4 to E-1 and assigned to the DFAC to verify the ID cards of hungry soldiers.

      Addiction and self-destruction are powerful enemies even inside the wire.

      2. “computer keyboard duster”

        Before it became an inhalant we used it in the defense electronics industry, especially RF testing where connectors had to be cleaned and blown dry with each connection. The vast majority of it though was used to play “willie whistle” by pinching the end of the nozzle and squeezing the trigger. Never thought of inhaling the stuff. That would be wasteful.

        1. Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome

          The syndrome is the label given to cases when a huffer dies within seconds of taking a hit, usually from heart failure. The 2007 death of Army Colonel Jon Lockey in Iraq brought a lot of attention to SSDS. His widow was denied Dependency and Indemnity Compensation from VA because her husband’s death was not in the line of duty since inhalant abuse is considered misconduct.

          Never trust a junkie because they always need just one more fix. I’ll get off my soapbox now.

          1. Just because a junkie will lie, cheat and steal is no reason not to trust him! They are the absolute worst. They have more excuses than one could ever count and they would swipe their mother’s walker for two bucks. It’s a very sick life for them. Drunks tend to be violent sorts, by their collective rap sheets. Junkies are rarely violent and their rap sheets are chocked full of theft (in all of its many forms) and possession charges.

            1. While your average pot smoker is probably less likely to commit assault, there’s plenty of violent crime from dopers. I’ve seen guys high on shrooms terrorizing neighborhoods trying to get into everyone’s houses. I’ve taken down guys high on PCP. There’s plenty of violence there. Not even talking about the driving while impaired, which kills thousand.

      3. I put in a purchase request to buy a case of canned air. I am an IT engineer and repair a lot of devices. The manager turned me down saying her friend died from huffing. I decided it wasn’t worth the fight.

        In Desert Storm phase in the Gulf War, the XVIIIth Airborne Corps newsletter spoke of 2 soldiers so hard up for booze they drank Isopropyl alcohol. Both were blind the next day. Not sure if it was permanent.

      4. …obligatory post about huffing floor wax (and it’s not even time for the Weekend Open Thread)….

    3. I’m 1000% for removing ALL warning labels. That’s a good start for the Negative Population Growth™ movement.

      2. There is no hope for that when items rec’d in plastic bags have warnings that eating the bag or placing it over one’s head may result in death. Some companies actually put holes in the bags. There is no hope. None whatsoever.

  3. Heh, never thought of that method. Gotta be a lot of blotter acid getting thru.
    Acid trip while incarcerated.

  4. Even in the joint there are haves and have nots. The haves get the good stuff from crooked guards. The have nots get Raid sprayed on paper.

  6. Man! And here, I thought that cantaloupes were only found in farmland.

    I was wrong. I was SO wrong. My eyes have been open.

    If they want to self-destruct that badly, then put them at the front lines in the Middle East and let them start a real shooting war. They’ll be dead heroes and no one needs to know that they were zombies from the get-go.

    Oh, yeah – if they mistakenly kill each other off, that’s okay, too. Dead zombies tell no tales.

    2. I have it, and nearly fell off my chair laughing. It deserves its very own space here at This Ain’t Hell.

      Made my day, too!

  9. When the song “Bristol Stomp came out, teens were sniffing Testors hobby airplane glue out of paper bags.

    1. Some of these people have vehicles available and haven’t been caught yet.

      However, some teen girl from the North Shore was huffing cleaning fluid in Highland Park a few years ago and ran right over a family on the sidewalk while she was huffing in her car, killing a 5-year-old child and injuring others in that family.

      She’s in jail, will be for a while. She’s still alive, too. She got a double sentence of 5 years and 4.5 years, to serve together, when I think she should have gotten the 8 that would be normal. And she’s probably out now, which makes people like me uncomfortable because recidivism – returning to the same behavior – is common with people like her.

  11. Steppenwolf made the song famous – but it was a cover. It was written by Hoyt Axton.

    Hoyt Axton also wrote “Never Been to Spain” (3 Dog Night), “Snowblind Friend” (Steppenwolf), “Joy to the World” (3 Dog Night), “The No-No Song” (Ringo Starr), and “Greenback Dollar” (Kingston Trio). Axton also performed the “Head for the Mountains” jingle for Busch Beer (it’s unclear if he also wrote it).

    Talented singer/songwriter. Passed away in 1999.

    1. Roger that Hondo, inhaled controlled substances to all of those and others, unlike BJ Willie we weren’t experimenting, we were doing full fledged research. Remember when Hoyt passed, some guys I used to run sound boards for & I got together and had a toast & toke in his honor. Saw him live a time or two at some of the outdoor gigs in the late 70s.

  12. Keep it classy, Polk County, Florida. Sheriff Grady Judd needs you guys to offer fodder for his really cool Videos. They can’t all be about Kyle Barwan, the poser of posers, scammer of scammers, who will be turned loose on society in two months.

  13. I’m waiting for the women that are infusing their cooters with cocaine to get their man high during conjugal visits.

  15. “In Florida prisons, inmates were discovered using chemically-laced papers as a dangerous new way to get high”

    We could use that here in California. Hell, before the month’s over it may be subsidized.

    If a few minor chemical alterations were introduced and this practice was allowed to continue for a few years..the solution to prison overcrowding
    would be largely solved. Of course those who habitate the prison library perusing ‘The Economist’ and integrating the Nernst Equation would be spared.
