With all the contraband brought in, how does the criminal justice system take steps to limit inmate smuggling. First of all, when entering a prison everyone has to go through a metal detector. This is the first line of defense to stop smuggling. Subsequently, the tools are classified according to the risk they pose to prison security. Class A tools are any tools that can be used as a weapon by other inmates or guards. They are also tools that can be used to escape. “Class A instruments must be used only under the direct supervision of personnel and must be placed in a safe storage location” (Seiter 395). Items classified in this category include knives, saw blades and ladders. Next, there are class B instruments which are less risky. “They can be stored and used by prisoners under less rigorous conditions, but still be monitored and accounted for” (Seiter 395). They include items such as lightweight pliers and short power cords. Aside from that, all mail and packages are security screened and inspected by my correctional members. When visitors arrive, they pass through a metal detector to ensure no contraband is brought in. After the visit, the inmates are searched. And the visitors' room is checked before the next group of inmates arrives. The last line of defense is the search of prisoners' cells. As you can see, many measures are being taken to reduce contraband in prisons. Next time you find yourself watching Orange is the New Black, or Beyond
