LEGAL MAIL
Legal mail is broadly classified as correspondence from an inmate's legal counsel or the court system. It is safeguarded under the Constitution and can't be sent electronically or opened without cause. It also must be delivered in a timely manner. Because of this, fraudulent legal mail has become a key avenue for smuggling contraband and dangerous substances into facilities.
PERSONAL ITEMS
Incarcerated individuals receive a large number of letters and packages from friends and family. These communications may be the only touch points some inmates have with the outside world. Yet, corrections facilities struggle with effectively screening such a large volume of mail for concealed contraband.
HOUSING AND INTAKE
Corrections staff conduct daily searches across facilities to uncover drugs and contraband hidden in everyday items, from bedding and clothing to food items, toiletries, and more. These manual inspections — even with K-9 support — are disruptive and often ineffective. Small quantities of drugs, treated papers, and tiny electronics frequently evade detection, putting the safety of inmates and officers at risk.
