The Possible Punishments For Having Contraband
The punishments for having contraband can vary greatly from prison to prison. The type of contraband is also used to determine which punishment could be used.
“No word on whether the mass punishments have ensued,” the source stated. “But it would most likely be taking away phone and email privileges.” Although that punishment may not sound very harsh, keep in mind being able to make telephone calls and send and receive emails are some of the limited ways inmates in prison have to communicate with their friends and loved ones.
