Drug Trade
The constant influx of the outside world creates an environment where it becomes a challenge to keep institutions drug free. Drug trafficking threatens staff safety and the orderly operations of correctional facilities. The mere act of drug conveyance creates many dynamic issues for staff, inmates, visitors and society at large. Most prisons have staff assigned to conduct investigations within the institution. Often, the investigators face many obstacles that are difficult to overcome.Prison investigators have to be multi-skilled, particularly possessing strong interpersonal skills. A constantly changing environment of inmates and staff compounds the problem.
Ensuring Drug Free Zones
To ensure safer prisons and communities, it is necessary to develop intelligence networks and investigate activity in both settings. Without comm-unity participation the negative impact on correctional security could be significant. Thus, the importance of conducting thorough investigations cannot be understated. Therefore, the investigating approach should mimic the influences of both the community and the detention facilities.

Many inmates are actually in prison based on the fact they are or were drug addicts. They committed a crime in the streets and then were sent to prison based off of their crime. These inmates if they wish to get clean should have the right to not be in an area where drugs are prevalent. Prison was designed to be a rehab of sorts, I mean it is called a "Correctional Facility". How can any of these drug habits be corrected if prisoners are exposed to drugs every single day? The gangs control the drug flow whether it be the Aryan Brotherhood trading with the Nuestra Family or it be Dead Men Incorporated trading with the MS-13. In order for an actual "order" to exist we need to squash out these gangs so that the men or women in prison may have some sort of peace to contemplate what they did wrong.
