‘Twas the night before lockdown, when a sneaky drone Santa dropped holiday cheer into a South Carolina prison yard: juicy steak, crab legs, Old Bay seasoning, weed baggies, and cigs galore—because nothing says “Merry Contrabandmas” like aerial delivery. Guards snag the feast before inmates could yell “dive!”, seizing the buzzing culprit while pondering crabby would-be recipients. From catapults to drones, smugglers evolve, but fences rise and patrols amp up in this eternal game of prison hide-and-seek. Officials quip about the “crabby” fallout, but felony charges loom for the pilots—proving even behind bars, the grass (or steak) is always greener on the dropped side.
