List of types of contraband that are prohibited in jails and prisons?

Hello I have been searching Google for a good half hour trying to find just a simple list of types of contraband that are illegal in jails and prisons. So far all I have found has been news articles. So if you guys could help me and provide me with a good list of items that would be great.

Drugs
Shanks
Pornography
Liquor
Electronic devices

    Pretty common sense…I dont need a source to tell me weapons and drugs of any kind are illegal. As well as cellphones or other electronics

  4. In jail/prison the word contraband is anything that is not being use for its original purpose. Can be as small as a tooth bush being used as a paint brush. Or can be as large as a tooth bush being used as a shank. Both are contraband, yet on opposite sides of the spectrum. Contraband is also used to describe items that are not allowed in to custody, such as hypes, drugs, knifes, stamps, pens, ect. (The more obvious items.)

    Not sure what information you are looking for but I hope this helps.
