What is classified as contraband?

Contraband refers to items that are prohibited for possession within a specific environment, such as a juvenile justice facility. This classification typically includes articles that are unauthorized due to safety or security regulations. The key aspect of contraband is that it can pose a risk to individuals or the overall environment, leading to restrictions on certain items.

In a juvenile justice context, unauthorized items can include weapons, drugs, certain types of technology, or any other articles deemed inappropriate for the facility. Being able to identify what constitutes contraband is crucial for maintaining safety and order within the facility. The other options provided either describe items that are permitted or belong to categories that do not align with the definition of contraband.
