Section 13:95-6.8 - Introduction or discharge of contraband into or from a facility by a visitor

(a) Any visitor present within the secure facility or on its ground shall surrender any item, article, or material which the Superintendent or designee shall determine to be contraband.

1. The custody staff member or staff member seizing any item, article or material determined to be contraband shall give the visitor an itemized, dated and signed receipt. When possession of the seized item, article or material does not appear to violate any Federal or State statute and the visitor exits the facility, the custody staff member shall, in return for the receipt, return the item to the visitor.

2. If there shall be reason to believe that possession of the contraband violates a Federal or State statute, the custody staff member shall detain such a visitor and notify the Office of Investigations.

(b) If there shall be reason to believe that a visitor has willfully introduced or was attempting to introduce contraband into the facility, such person shall be detained in the facility and the secure facility Office of Investigations shall be notified.

(c) Visitors may be subject to denial of future visits as specified by the Superintendent because of the presence of contraband in their possession or under their control. Where warranted, the case may be referred to the appropriate law enforcement authority for criminal prosecution.
