The first method which is generally used for the introduction of contraband into correctional facilities by inmates is delivery by small drones (Grommon, 2018). Small drones ensure that there is efficiency in technological control and in timely delivery of contraband like cell phones. Small drones are also useful for making them reach the desired destination by overcoming sudden obstacles in the path of delivery. There are associates of inmates who come to meet them in prison. They might use code language or signs which might not be captured in CCTV cameras in the correctional facilities. The associates might have a network of individuals obtaining contraband cell phones.
