Jail’s dope farm

[Gerbil]

DOPEY prison guards unwittingly allowed a convicted drug dealer to grow cannabis in his cell - and even decorate one 4ft plant as a CHRISTMAS TREE.

Gold-toothed Mohamed Jalloh, 28, convinced jail staff that his super-powerful skunk crop was really tomato plants.

He grew it for at least five months while unsuspecting officers and bosses admired his green fingers. And he got so cocky he put festive decorations on one to brighten up his cell at Verne Prison in Portland, Dorset.

Eventually he was grassed up by a jealous inmate - and guards then identified the plants using Google snaps.

A source said: "You could see the plants from the grounds as his cell looks on to the education department and communal outside area. They were on show for the world to see."

Jalloh, of Brent, North London, is serving eight years for supplying Class A drugs. An inquiry is underway at the Category C prison.

The similarity often fools many. Wonder where they recruit such brilliant jail staff?

Unbelievable! The balls of this guy. Hilarious as well.

Anyway, I guess he'll be inside a bit longer.....

I really don't think privatising the prison service is the way to go.

Unbelivable

Skunk is probably the easiest to spot, doesn't look much like a tomato plant when it's producing. The smell alone would have given it away

Yep, this joint employed a pretty dopey lot to have made such a hash of things . Fancy needing a grass to weed out a drug dealer.

Bollocks to this story

Never would have had the heat needed to germinate the seed.
Nor the light source to keep it growing in a healthy manner.

I call Sunsensational bollocks.

Maybe bullshit squirrel, but the help in these places, are barely a step above the inmates.

Q your pretty much bang on the money.

Germination is no real problem damp cotton wool and a radiator would do it.

Growing anything smokeable (buds) though is a totally different ball game.

Pot plant or christmas tree only.
