a drone carrying heroin, marijuana, and tobacco dropped its payload over a prison yard crowded with inmates, causing a brief melee before authorities stamped out the brawl with pepper spray, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC).
Local media reported Tuesday that the July 29 melee at the Mansfield Correctional Institution began moments after a drone let loose with the goods. At least nine inmates began fighting over the package while other inmates rushed toward the brawl.
Hmm, time for cryo prisons? Or should the drug delivery man switch to drones that can travel through the plumbing?

They are typically trained to fly home. The trouble you'd have is training them to fly to the prison.
Other than homing pigeons, which can't really carry a lot of weight, I don't know what other birds can be trained in this manner and would be able to carry a reasonable amount of weight to be useful for this purpose even if they can be trained to fly to a prison.
