Almost as long as prisons and jails have been in existence there have been efforts for inmates to get their hands on illegal contraband. It is commonplace for weapons and tools to be made from materials gathered within the institution walls – kitchen items, stones, workshop tools, and more. Today, creativity, planning and collaboration have changed the landscape a bit and have added a whole new set of problematic items that inmates desire. Whatever the item, it is very much a situation of supply and demand, and there are many willing participants. While inmates have gotten more and more adaptive with their techniques, the correctional systems are deploying technology, best practices, and new procedures to keep pace.
