Contraband items

There are four types of contraband that can be found: Weapons, Tools, Narcotics, and Luxuries.

Contraband can be obtained through various ways, e.g. by smuggling it into the prison or stealing it from its facilities, and it can be used for various purposes, e.g. digging Escape Tunnels, getting high or killing guards and other prisoners.

Weapons are the most dangerous forms of contraband your prison can hold. Weapons are mainly used when prisoners fear for their lives and defend themselves against other prisoners.

Tools are the most troublesome forms of contraband your prison can hold. Tools can be used by your prisoners to dig Escape Tunnels whenever the Danger level of the prison is too high.

Narcotics are a menace that can be smuggled into your prison, and prisoners can steal narcotics from rooms that contain them. Narcotics have adverse effects on prisoners, making them more violent and can potentially cause them to overdose.

Luxuries; Except for the booze, which reliefs the Alcohol need, luxuries don’t serve a purpose, but can still be smuggled into your prison.

Note: The Freedom Need is tied to Prison escapes even in a ‘Safe Prison’. If all doors in your prison are locked and/or you have no freetime in your Regime prisoners will seek out a way to steal Contraband tool and may begin digging an Escape Tunnel. The remedy is ofcause to allow more freetime in the Regime and leave some doors unlocked. You might also place som Arcade Cabinet to help relief the Freedom Need.

Weapons

Weapons are mainly used when prisoners fear for their lives and defend themselves against other prisoners. However, weapons can also be used against staff members for rioting prisoners trying to escape.
