Now six Canadian prisons are taking steps to shoo away some pesky, flying visitors. A drone operator helps to retrieve a drone after photographing over Hart Island in New York, April 29, 2018. The Correctional Service of Canada is alarmed by recent cases of small, easily purchased flying devices delivering forbidden items to prisoners from the air. The service fears the camera-equipped copters could also be used in illicit surveillance operations to glean intelligence that might help with escapes. A report will then provide recommendations on next steps with respect to a cross-country rollout, said Correctional Service spokeswoman Esther Mailhot.
