Part 1010. Contraband Drugs |
Sec. 1010.3. Background
Latest version.
- The possession by anyone of contraband drugs presents a serious threat to the safety and security of a correctional facility. The importation of and trafficking in contraband drugs provides an opportunity for the demoralization of inmates and the corruption of correctional staff. The accurate identification of suspected contraband drugs and the use of appropriate disciplinary sanctions for the possession of contraband drugs can assist facility administrators in detecting and suppressing this threat.
