In a correctional setting, contraband typically includes which of the following?

• A. Weapons
• B. Alcohol
• C. Drugs
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Contraband means any item not authorized for possession inside a correctional facility or that could threaten safety, security, or order. Weapons are contraband because they can be used to harm staff or other inmates. Alcohol is contraband because it’s prohibited or restricted and can impair judgment. Drugs are contraband because they’re illegal to possess and undermine control and safety within the facility. Since each of these items is typically prohibited, all of them are treated as contraband in practice.
