Illicit Substances

Interdiction of addictive substances is a challenge in all settings. Prisons are no exception. Given the high prevalence of addictive disorders among prisoner populations the demand for illicit substances is very high. This chapter reviews the ways in which correctional staff have approached this concern, including a substantial focus on preventing illicit substances from entering the facility in the first place. This effort requires a broad array of interventions, including monitoring phone calls and mail; structuring and overseeing the visitation process; using trained canines; and employing intrusive searches any time a prisoner leaves the facility and returns. These efforts interface with an ongoing process to monitor prison activities for drugs that get past screening efforts. Random drug testing, canine tours of the facility, and an intricate system of informants, are each an element of effective monitoring activities. This chapter reviews the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of such interventions, and considers the consequences of failure. Given that such consequences may include staff corruption and the development or growth of a prison drug economy, effective interdiction is a priority in every well-run facility.
