A prison crime ring has been busted smuggling in drugs, tech gear and tobacco via old folks’ home laundry. Jail authorities made the shock discovery last week in piles of soiled laundry from aged care facilities, which is cleaned by inmates at Port Phillip Prison. Phone chargers, USB sticks, balloons suspected of containing drugs and pouches of tobacco were uncovered during a search of linen and garments. They had been brought in via trucks from aged care homes around Melbourne. The laundry is cleaned under contract by the prisoners.
