![RaySecur-Contraband Screening Solutions-White-2024.](https://www.raysecur.com/wp-content/uploads/RaySecur-Contraband_Screening_Solutions-White-2024-300x43.png)
Corrections staff and officers are constantly fighting to safely and effectively find and prevent contraband from entering the inmate population. Significant man-hours are devoted to mail screening, yet they continue to miss the introduction of many harmful substances.
The problem is pervasive, resulting in:
- Overworked staff
- Limited Resources
- Heightened risk to officers and screeners
- Increased inmate violence, overdose and death
Real-time, Accurate Detection
The MailSecur desktop scanners display real-time video of the contents concealed inside envelopes, parcels, magazines, books, and other types of packaging. Unlike X-ray machines that only produce 2D, static images, and use harmful radiation, MailSecur uses safe T-rays allowing the operator to freely manipulate the object to obtain alternate views in 3D.
MailSecur’s real-time, dynamic imaging allows existing staff to quickly become proficient in detecting contraband without the need for extensive training and special certification or safety precautions required for X-ray.

Simple, Real-Time Detection of Treated Paper
Dried papers sprayed or dipped in liquid narcotics or intoxicants can be undetectable to humans, making them ideal for smuggling, especially under the guise of legal documents.
T-ray imaging is so sensitive that even single sheets of drug-laced paper intermixed with regular paper inside a sealed envelope can be detected. MailSecur’s treated paper detection software conveniently displays untreated regular paper as green, while laced paper is displayed as yellow or red. This enables existing staff using the MailSecur® scanner to detect the anomaly in a matter of seconds – without anyone having to open the mail or document.
Prison Smuggling Occurs Outside of the Mailroom
Flexible. Scalable. Mobile. Screen Inmate Personal Items

Each day, corrections staff are called upon to search areas throughout the facilities to determine the presence of drugs and contraband.
Substances can be concealed in everyday items, from bedding and clothing to food items, toiletries, and more.
MailSecur when integrated in a rugged cart and using a battery pack allows for searches in inmate intake areas and housing units.
