Resources should be summarized or paraphrased with appropriate in-text and Resource page citations. Project Objectives: To identify the security issues created by the introduction and possession of cellular phones, by inmates, in correctional institutions.

To identify the methods by which cellular phones are introduced into correctional institutions. To identify promising methods either currently employed or in development that will assist prison administrators to establish contraband interdiction programs that will reduce or eliminate the introduction of cellular phones into institutions by inmates. Assignment; Research the field of Corrections, correctional journals, correctional periodicals, various departments of correction, and other resources to determine if there are any programs currently being employed or in development which will assist prison administrators to reduce or eliminate the introduction of cellular phones into correctional institution. Write a report on your findings providing a description of the promising program (if it exists), the elements that lead to the success of the program, and the program structure and design that provide for an effective and successful correction program.

One of the best practices to ensure control of usage of contraband cellphones is the utilization/application of Managed Access Systems. This is because in such systems, there is scope for conducting multiple events consisting of multitasking operational activities. There can be the conduction of surprise searches to ensure that the inmates possessing contraband cellphones are caught unaware (Grommon, 2018). Surprise searches are effective because there can be situations when some of the inmates might know/predict the timing of conducting regular searches by the correctional officers. Therefore, the inmates might be alert during those specific search times.
