Contraband: Cell phone alarm clock

This piece of contraband was found in a facility in Pennsylvania.

The C1 member who sent it in wrote, “A visitor brought in an alarm clock during visitation. The shift manager looked at the clock and noticed something rattle inside.

“He took the clock apart and found a cell phone inside.”

Lesson: Make sure you inspect anything brought to an inmate from a visitor. If you can’t see inside of it, thoroughly inspect the item to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with before giving it to the inmate.
