Numerous accounts show how searching a person's cell can help prevent violence in a prison, either against personnel or other incarcerated individuals. The most intrusive search is the body cavity examination. Many items can be smuggled into a prison while hidden inside a body cavity. A body cavity search is not easy for the incarcerated person or the person conducting the search. It involves invading the most private parts of a person and can cause anger, which may make the person more prone to demonstrating poor behavior. However, making sure that drugs, weapons, or incriminating messages are not being transported around your prison is important for keeping the prison environment safe for all. As the prison warden, you set the guidelines your prison will follow. Given the information above, should you encourage more body cavity searches in your facility? Yes. You want to take every step possible to keep your prison safe. Keeping banned items from being passed around the prison will keep your prison a safer place for both prison staff and those incarcerated there. No. You want to respect the civil rights of incarcerated individuals in your facility. You are implementing an environment of trust that you will build upon to make the prison a more open environment, which will make it easier for individuals to share information that will help to keep the prison a safe place for all
