It's because the lowest-quality people imaginable work for the DEA (or other agencies like the ATF).

Just look around and you can see with your own eyes just how ineffective they really are, and that's with all of these obvious violations of rights to make their job much easier.

These idiots can't even keep drugs out of federal prisons.

Yeah, it's hard for me an outside to understand how drugs get into Fed Penitentiaries, other than corruption, but there must be more than simple corruption/bribery going on.

There isn't, too much money to be made by the guards in facilitating those transactions.

> too much money to be made by the guards

And a low give-a-shit factor outside.
