• The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has established a comprehensive drug and contraband interdiction program by implementing various drug and contraband interdiction strategies to prevent them from entering institutions. Among these strategies is the use of Electronic Drug Detection Equipment (EDDE) such as ION mobility spectrometry technology (ION Scanners), which are non-invasive devices that simultaneously test for a wide range of narcotics in seconds, detecting their presence on hands, articles of clothing, mail, and other objects.
