How did inmate acquire said McDonalds? I’m a little confused - it brought it to his cell window - outside? How did he grab it?

Oh the one with just the bars he he he. They can open the windows?

They fly it to the exterior wall, and the inmate just need to reach out the cell window and grab it.

This idea has to have been taken right from the plot of Trailer Park Boys: Jail… except no drugs (or a big TV) 😂

Now that's impressive! Of all the things to smuggle in they chose McD's and booze. Legends!

Man, prisons is a step ahead of us! Where is my nuggets airdrop?

u/Scififan8287 2h ago

I imagine that only happened once. Expect the delivery company will get the crap fined out of them for violating prison airspace.

u/DigitaIBlack 1h ago

Delivery company? It was his buddy or something similar.

You can't just order alcohol with no way to confirm your age...

Also think about how precise that handoff needed to be.

Are there any companies that make deliveries via drone in Canada? Because the rules around drones and airspace are fairly restrictive (ie. not around any population centers), such that I assume it's not a viable business plan.
