Please provide a cite.

Contraband is generally brought in by the staff.

Common knowledge should be easy to cite. A prisoner might get a family visitor once a month if he is lucky. This sort of precludes families bringing in the amount of contraband provided by the staff.

Unless of course you have a cite to put me in my place.

Wow:

An 8-year-old was strip-searched last month at a prison in Dillwyn, Va., The Virginian-Pilot reported.

The girl was visiting the Buckingham Correctional Center with her father’s girlfriend Nov. 24 when she was told the search was necessary for her to see her dad, according to the newspaper.

“It’s generally regarded in the criminal justice field that you do not strip-search young children," Daniel Macallair, the head of the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, told The Pilot. “I mean most adults, certainly most adults who work in the field of child welfare, would know better — that this is an act of child abuse.”

The Virginia Department of Corrections acknowledged the incident and said it was a mistake and in violation of policy.

When we make it harder for families to visit, we are making it less likely those families will stay together.
