"Prison investigators have wrapped up their investigation of who brought bullets into the Ionia Maximum Correctional Facility in December, but no one has been charged in the incident."
"The 706-bed facility that houses some of Michigan's most dangerous criminals was locked down the morning of Dec. 9 when a corrections officer spotted three .22-caliber bullets inside a sealed breakfast tray before it was delivered to a prisoner in his cell." ...

| Did they do a serious "shakedown" of that prisoner's cell for a "gun" ? Prisoners - especially lifers - have ample time and incentive to craft improvised weapons from a wide variety of materials. But all prisons have a "prisoner economy'" and network. The alert CO might just have intercepted the first step in a chain of deals. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
