1.1 The Problem
There are several reports from different state of Australia involving contraband, in particular illicit drug, entering the correctional service facility.
Contraband that enters the Correctional services posts a several problems to the community and to the correctional facility itself. These are the following: * Rupture of public confidence in security and safety from prison system. * It imposes a threat to the lives of inmates, custodial officers and the public. * An indication of having a corrupt correctional system and perhaps, will be the source of public scorn which will lead to deterioration of integrity of the whole Correctional constitution. * Criminals may intimidate and threaten the public outside the facility, orchestrate crimes, coordinate escapes, bribe prison officers and create security breaches.
The issue of contraband inside the correctional services creates a perception that the policies and procedure are not being implemented. Such policies and procedure make individual custodial officers accountable and facilitate practices compliant with prescribed standards to prevent the entry and availability of contraband in the prison.
