ALERT! MAN BITES DOG! AND MAN HAS RABIES!
This is not only an administrative reversal, it's a reversal of prison disciplinary charges! I am going to run out of exclamation points!
Someone who had visited a prisoner sent him a letter with drugs under the stamp. Prison officials were not amused. The prisoner stated that he should not be disciplined for someone sending him an unsolicited present, and took a urine test to show he wasn't on drugs.
Prison officials said, 'Ha ha, people don't just send people drugs, you're guilty of possession.'
Appellate Division reversed, holding the prisoner did not have actual possession of the drugs and there was no evidence that the prisoner knew about the drugs.
So now you know, in prison disciplinary cases, the hill that the Appellate Division is willing to die on (possibly today only).
