The Correctional Service of Canada has announced plans to distribute paper straws in federal prisons to facilitate safer drug snorting among inmates. The initiative aims to reduce health risks associated with homemade or plastic straws, including nosebleeds and the transmission of hepatitis B and C. Alongside the straws, inmates will also receive foil strips for smoking and test strips for detecting fentanyl, benzodiazepines, and xylazine.
