“Our ‘Eyes in the Sky’ operation continues to be effective this year, as we thwart attempts by inmates and their co-conspirators on the outside to bring illegal and potentially dangerous items inside the prison,” Deputy Chief Randy Akies said, according to WAGA. “The safety of intended recipients and other persons in our custody and staff is at risk from this practice, and Sheriff Maddox has made it clear that it will not be tolerated.
