Keep in mind that the correctional officers are often underpaid, overworked, and constantly traumatized. Some of the stories that they tell are enough to curdle your blood. It's not surprising that the less scrupulous ones are happy to make extra money importing illicit substances. There is also the fact that most of the prison is run by prisoners themselves. This provides tons of opportunity for bringing in contraband.
