COLUMBIA, S.C. – THE SKIES OVER AMERICA’S PRISONS HAVE BEEN HIJACKED. A SHOCKING, UNSTOPPABLE INVASION is happening EVERY NIGHT as drone armadas, loaded with drugs, weapons, and luxuries, breach our most secure facilities with impunity. Federal bureaucrats have HANDCUFFED prison officials, FORBIDDING them from shooting down these criminal aircraft while inmates feast on steak and crab legs delivered by air.
This is a SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE of prison security. Federal drone incidents have EXPLODED by over 2000% since 2018. South Carolina’s prisons are under DAILY SIEGE, with a top official admitting, “We get assaulted nightly.” These aren’t toys; they are sophisticated smuggling drones, now hauling 25-pound duffel bags at 75+ mph, orchestrated by former inmates using ILLEGAL CELLPHONES smuggled inside. The contraband includes enough fentanyl in a single drop to “kill the entire prison system.”
Yet, due to FEDERAL OVERREACH, state guards can only WATCH and CHASE. The FAA absurdly classifies these contraband drones as “registered aircraft,” forcing prisons into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse while criminal networks operate with ZERO FEAR of interception. Our prisons are no longer cages but distribution hubs for cartels, with the government actively PREVENTING their defense.
This isn’t just about smuggling; it’s a BLUEPRINT for anarchy, proving that the most dangerous criminals now control the airspace. If we cannot secure our prisons, what facet of law and order is left? The walls have fallen, and the state is powerless to rebuild them.
