Annotation
THIS TRAINING FILM FOR CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS ILLUSTRATES PROPER TECHNIQUES COMMONLY USED IN THE UNCLOTHED OR STRIPPED SEARCH OF PRISONERS ENTERING OR MOVING BETWEEN OR WITHIN A CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION OR JAIL.
Abstract
PREPARED FOR BOTH LINE OFFICERS AND NEW RECRUITS, THIS FILM OUTLINES THE FIVE GOALS OF A THOROUGH BODY SEARCH: (1) PREVENTING THE INTRODUCTION OF WEAPONS, (2) INTERCEPTING CONTRABAND, (3) PROTECTING INMATES AGAINST ALCOHOL AND DRUG-RELATED PROBLEMS, (4) PREVENTING THE THEFT OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, AND (5) GUARDING AGAINST POSSIBLE HEALTH HAZARDS. TOP TO BOTTOM SEARCHES OF THE BODIES AND CLOTHES OF BOTH MALE AND FEMALE PRISONERS ARE DEMONSTRATED, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE NEED FOR A THOROUGH, SYSTEMATIC, AND OBJECTIVE APPROACH TO EACH PERSONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL SECURITY. ALTHOUGH SCRUTINIZING THE CLOTHES OF INMATES IS COVERED, THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON SEARCHES OF THE HAIR, MOUTH, EARS, AND ANAL AND GENITAL AREAS. SEE ALSO NCJ-57574.
