Abstract: The National Institute of Justice proposes to collect information on contraband and contraband interdiction modalities across local and state correctional facilities through a web-based survey, entitled “National Survey on Correctional Contraband (NSCC).” The goal of the NSCC is to expand the knowledgebase of contraband, including the prevalence of contraband and contraband-related violence in correctional facilities, the points of entry for contraband into facilities, and the use of contraband interdiction technologies and policies.
