Prison officials have foiled an attempt to smuggle drugs into Maafushi Prison, concealed in the clothing sent to inmate.
Correctional services said the drugs were found during a search of some items sent to an inmate by the family.
Corrections said actions remain a major obstacle to the rehabilitation process of the inmates, insisting that such behaviour by a few was harming the families of other prisoners.
There has been an increase in the number of reports of attempts to smuggle contraband into prison.
