Oftentimes this evidence comes in the form of what we call Contraband. It may be a shank (homemade weapon) used in an assault on another inmate or staff. It may also be in the form of drugs or other contraband that a visitor or staff member is attempting to smuggle in to the institution. How this evidence is collected, handled, and documented will make all the difference when an investigation is being conducted. If the evidence has been compromised or mishandled it may result in the evidence being disqualified or not valid in a court of law. Therefore, it is vitally important that we as law enforcement and correctional staff follow the proper protocol for the collection and handling of evidence.
