Some contraband, such as drugs, may trigger an investigation and could result in prosecution of the sender in addition to institutional disciplinary action against the inmate. It may be thrown away, returned to sender, or held for the sender. Prohibited items are considered contraband and will not be distributed to the inmate. All incoming mail must include a complete return address. All mail may be opened and checked prior to delivery to an inmate.
