What’s getting inside Canada’s prisons?

Prisons are designed to keep inmates inside — but there's a problem with what else is getting into prisons. This data on drug and weapon seizures in Canadian penitentiaries between 2008 and 2012 was obtained through the Access to Information Act.

The numbers for 2013 have not yet been compiled, but the data so far suggests the number of drug and weapon seizures continues to rise.
