"Drone Contraband Deliveries Are Rampant at US Prisons"

This seems wholly expected, but interesting to see it confirmed. With a new head of US Prisons, I'm hoping we see reforms from top to bottom (obviously will require larger decisions and changes to the law) but will also be curious how they go about combatting this.

I wonder if we'll see the US Prison system will use falconry as their tool of choice? Or perhaps they'll begin utilizing anti-drones.
