Pigeon Wearing Backpack Full Of Meth Detained By Prison: How do you read a pigeon its rights? A jail in Canada detained a pigeon that was carrying a backpack filled with crystal meth. The pigeon was “apprehended” with a trap on a wall at the Pacific Institution correctional facility. Officials say that people using drones to try to smuggle drugs into prisons isn’t unusual but using a pigeon with a backpack is new. The drug pigeon investigation is ongoing, and there’s no word on if the bird was allowed one phone coo.
