A prisoner at Welikada jail in Colombo, Sri Lanka, got into trouble last week, after he attempted to hide a smuggled cell phone in his rectum.
The Agence France-Presse reports that the 58-year-old convict had concealed the phone, along with a hands-free headset, in his body cavity.
The items were discovered when prison guards heard a suspicious ringing.
“Guards knew he had a phone at the wrong end,” an unidentified guard told media.
An X-ray taken of the prisoner in a local hospital reveals the phone and handset in all their glory. No word on what happened to the phone in question.
Other prisoners at Welikada also seem to take their cell phones seriously. In November, at least 27 people were killed when prisoners rioted during a search for illegal phones and drugs.
Apparently, Brazilian prisoners are pretty passionate about their phone, as well. In January, a prisoner apparently tried to smuggle in a cell phone, earphone, memory card, charge, drill and saw on the back of a cat.
According to media reports, the hapless, duct-taped feline was “detained” by authorities, who quoted a prison spokesperson as saying, “It’s tough to find out who’s responsible for the action as the cat doesn’t speak.”
