FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ) — A multimillion-dollar program aiming to prevent illicit drugs from reaching California prisons, appears to be having the opposite effect.
It includes airport-style scanners and drug-sniffing dogs.
However, a newly-released legislative analysis finds that positive drug test results have actually increased, since the program was implemented in 2014.
That’s prompted state lawmakers to cut its funding by $3 million, although the Department of Corrections and an independent analysis say it’s too soon to draw conclusions.
