What it reported doing in 2024

This electronic contraband course examines the criminal thinking that leads to negative decisions, such as the use, possession, and sale of contraband electronics in a correctional setting. Correctional institutions prohibit the use of unauthorized electronics including: cell phones, smart watches, and devices containing banned content. Participants will explore the importance of safety and security within institutional settings and will address their behaviors and beliefs by challenging criminal thinking and attitudes. The electronic contraband course is available by correspondence and can be facilitated by a peer mentor leader. This program is also available in spanish.
