The three gravest threats to officer safety: First inmates provide a direct source of stress

Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders of County of Burlington --- U.S. --- (2012) Decided April 2, 2012

Hello Cory, the introduction of contraband into correctional facilities is dangerous and counterintuitive to the rehabilitation of the inmates. Moreover, as you stated the addition of cellular devices as contraband increases the inmates’ ability to violate the law from inside the facility (C. Mathis, personal communication, January 3, 2018). Although new procedures to combat the influx of contraband is helpful, inmates find new ways to circumvent other procedures. So, it is likely that the introduction of contraband into penal facilities will never completely stop. But, improving certain factors would assist in lessening the flow of illegal items and actions in jails via written and unwritten procedures (Bohm, & Haley, 2014).

Does the policy of strip searching impede on the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights of individuals as outlined in the United States Constitution? In Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholder of County of Burlington et al this question arises when the petitioner was stopped at a traffic stop, and upon a database search it was discovered he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest to due to failure to pay a fine. The petitioner was sent to Burlington County Correctional Facility and Essex County Correctional Facility, both of which he was strip searched upon arrival. Petitioner submits that detainees held for minor offenses should not be subject to humiliating strip searches. Summary Judgement was

I agree that prison staff and visitors need to be searched. The reference made by Peter Esbrandt of how “prison itself is a sterile environment” is a fact. Prison was not designed with placement of contraband within the facility. Likewise, the practice of inmate’s searches slightly limit the flow of contraband. The resulting possibility of contraband introduction from outside sources (visitors and/or prison staff) is high. The general population of citizens and prison staff are law-abiding individual, however there are one or two individuals who break the rules for their benefits. According to Baynes, “…from experience that some staff, albeit a small number can be corrupted, and have been used to bring all sorts of contraband into prisons

When contemplating the flow of contraband into a correctional facility, there are numerous avenues to consider when attempting to diminish this concern. For instance, correctional officers may search inmate cells, oversee personal visits, and utilize informants to reduce the introduction of contraband into facilities (Bohm, & Haley, 2014). While it is true that inmates create their own contraband inside facilities, and that contraband passed to them via acquaintances how are inmates able to receive contraband while in facilities? Well, personal introduction via visitations, trustee details, reception of mail, usage of cell phones and illegal actions of correction officers.

Each day in America, some of the most innovative minds are kept sealed in a box up to twenty-three hours a day, receiving only the minimum of basic human needs. Inmates have become some of the most notoriously ingenious visionaries in the modern world. From smuggling components into a facility to creating weapons made from paper, these individuals are constantly finding new ways to exploit the system to their benefit. Though there is seemingly an infinite amount of different types of contraband, the most commonplace items seized are drugs, tattooing equipment, electronics, and weapons. Contraband, as defined by US Legal, refers to property that is illegal to possess or transport. The Arizona Revised Statues define the

This was a real-life scenario lived by Amra Miletic, a 47-year-old Bosnian woman at the Weber County Correctional Facility in Ogden, Utah. In this particular case, the detention center was non-compliant with two standards for medical care: Section (II)(2) and Section (III)(D). Section (II)(2) states that facilities are to provide their population of detainees with initial medical screening, cost-effective medical care, and emergency care. Section (III)(D) states that every new arrival shall receive immediate medical and mental health screening. Health appraisals and physical examinations are to occur within two weeks of arrival (American Civil Liberties Union 8).
