Part 200 - Entrance To A Correctional Facility
Section 200.3 - Unauthorized items/contraband
Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 12, March 20, 2024
(a) Contraband is defined as:
Note: The visitor's intent shall be controlling. At times, innocent oversights will occur (e.g., medication). Officers should use their discretion in judging a visitor's intent, when undeclared contraband is found, as to whether the visitor intentionally attempted to introduce contraband into the facility. Criteria to be considered include the visitor's demeanor, whether it appears that the contraband was for the visitor's personal use and was inadvertently left his/her pocket or handbag, and whether an effort was made to conceal the contraband where it would not readily be found and the visitor's past history.
(b) Upon the discovery of contraband as defined in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section, the contraband shall be confiscated and law enforcement officials shall be contacted.
(c) Prohibited Items. Certain items are prohibited inside a State correctional facility.
