Searches help keep which group safe from contraband into the prison?

• A. Inmates
• B. Everyone
• C. Staff
• D. Visitors

Answer: (B)

Universal screening of anyone entering the facility is essential to keep everyone inside safe from contraband. Contraband such as weapons, drugs, or prohibited tools can put inmates, staff, and visitors at risk and can undermine security. If screening focuses on only one group, contraband can still be brought in by others—visitors might slip items past a partial check, or deliveries and staff could introduce prohibited items if not all entrants are searched. By screening every entrant—staff, visitors, and service providers—the prison closes those gaps and reduces the chance that dangerous items enter the facility.
