"This is why routine screening is so important! Kudos to the correctional officers for staying vigilant. If they hadn't caught this, it could have caused serious problems in the facility."


"Colus? This synthetic drug is destroying lives everywhere. Even inside prison walls, they're trying to get it in. We need stricter measures!"

The royal father-to-be has raised the alarm over what he describes as an attempt by certain factions to create a "parallel security structure" capable of plunging the Community into chaos and division.
