Brazilian prisoners use pigeons to get high! It was the dipping flight path of pigeons that first alerted prison guards. The birds were flying in and out of a prison in Marilia, Brazil, like any other day. No one thought anything of it, until they noticed the birds were struggling to fly - as if something was weighing them down. Guards caught some of them and found out what was slowing them down. The birds were drug runners - smuggling narcotics and cellphones in little pouches. The age-old use of homing pigeons (trained by the prisoners themselves) provided an ingenious way to skip the high-tech security human visitors faced. "We have sophisticated equipment to search people when they go in, but they avoided this by finding another way to bring in cellphones and drugs," prison director Luciano Gamateli told Globo TV. The homing pigeon had its heyday long ago as a messenger. Although no one seems to know exactly why, the birds can always find their way home. Trained in the prison and smuggled out by visitors, they would be saddled up with contraband and set free, only to find their way back to jail.
