To be fair, we don’t know which is worse for one’s health.

Put the drugs in the nuggets. Call them McDruggets.

u/nevergnastop 14h ago

They already do put drugs in the nugs. Everyone's addicted to the pink slime

Ive eaten them for most of my life. Stopped going to mcdonalds a few years ago. Believe it or not I did not have any withdrawels.

Using Trump as a metric, not that bad. His McDonald's habit is well known and yet his heart continues.

It's easy to take your freedom for granted if you've never been to prison. But imagine having nearly every aspect of your life, from the time you can go to bed, to what you can eat or wear being dictated by someone else. You and I can just go get drunk and eat some fast food on a whim, some prisoners would give anything for that.

Smuggling mcnuggets into prison is strangely wholesome.

u/nevergnastop 14h ago

Cold nugs and diarrhea on a stainless steel toilet 😊

The mcnuggets contain fentanyl.

At all McLocations???

Only if the franchisee agrees to participate in the promotion. 

•

u/HereForTheFunnyPics 4h ago

That’s bad.

•

u/JFKRFKSRVLBJ 4h ago

But it comes with free szechuan sauce.

•

u/HereForTheFunnyPics 3h ago

That’s good!

•

u/nevergnastop 1h ago

The Szechuan sauce is also cursed

•

u/HereForTheFunnyPics 54m ago

That’s bad.

u/RoyalCities 31m ago

But it comes with your choice of topping!

•

u/Otheus 2h ago

Wow! This sauce is fucking amazing! You said it was promoting a movie?

•

u/Kevbot1000 10h ago

Wholesome enough that I kind of want them to turn a blind eye to this.

Ricky from Trailer Park Boys placed an order.

Please give me some mind bleach. I don't even want to think about this any more.

“Anandasangaree's office referred CBC News to the CSC comment.”

…as Mr Anandasangaree had gone for lunch to get some mcnuggets himself

So how unsupervised are these prisoners (in the most secure prison) that they are able to wait for and receive a drone delivery without being seen.

u/Reasonable_Let9737 14h ago

There is likely a dozen or two prisoners for every guard.  

Modern standards dictate access to natural light in each cell, so everyone has a window.

It only takes a minute or two to fly a drone in and drop something off at the window.

I believe corrections Canada operates drone jammers, but apparently that doesn't always work.  

•

u/StJsub 11h ago

Why have windows that open?

•

u/LePapaPapSmear 9h ago

Airflow?

•

u/StJsub 9h ago

You can do that with tiny holed vents that don't allow access to the outside, have one main air channel that has a single or very few openings and then each cell can open and connect to the main channel,  or just use HVAC.

•

u/LePapaPapSmear 9h ago

Near impossible to retrofit these jails to have HVAC, it needs to be as robust as possible and there is no way they would risk anything that connects cells together

•

u/StJsub 9h ago

Wire mess cages over the windows then, or anti-drone mesh nets over the open areas, or, better yet build some new prisons. This seems to be a 'we don't want to spend money on these people' kind of situation. 

•

u/LePapaPapSmear 9h ago

I mean that's probably exactly what it is, a federally incarcerated inmate costs the government roughly 150k a year. Correctional Service of Canada also just got a 140 million dollar budget cut so they are not exactly jumping to spend money

How bad is the food in jail that you have to get McDonalds !!!

u/USSMarauder 12h ago

You've never seen The Longest Yard, Smuggling in McD was one prisoner's entire hustle

Tough day smuggling a 40 in the ol prison wallet

u/happycow24 British Columbia 13h ago

I wonder what has a higher prison contraband markup %, mcnuggets or drugs.

Fries that will cross your eyes

this is such a canadian thing hahaha, wait no double-double?

u/ManSharkBear 8h ago

No one in jail is dumb enough to risk extending their stay for Timmys. Larry the Shiv could brew better coffee in a dirty stainless toilet with nothing but a bedsheet and beans stolen from the guard break room.

•

u/untitledaccount401 7h ago

Imagine paying a carton of cigs for burnt coffee

u/Mental_Inevitable665 15h ago

You know what, as long as it's not drugs or weapons on cellphones (to coordinate inside/outside crimes), I'm kinda ok with it.

Everybody feels like getting drunk and eating mcnuggets every once in a while. The regret comes 5 mins after you finish the last nugget.
