Hey so recently in my prison I have been receiving a high levels of contraband notice, presumably meaning a lot of contraband is getting into my prison.
I narrowed it down to the deliveries area, I put the appropriate measures in place to stop it getting to my prisoners but apparently it being found in the delivery area still counts to the alert.
Is this something I ignore since it actually doesn't affect my prisoners or is there a way I can stop the contraband from entering the prison altogether.

Ok so for anyone wondering how I actually did this, I placed my kennel area above my deliveries area, and the only way for the dog handlers to get to their deployment is to go past the deliveries area, which...

    Ok so for anyone wondering how I actually did this, I placed my kennel area above my deliveries area, and the only way for the dog handlers to get to their deployment is to go past the deliveries area, which causes the dogs to sniff all of the contents of the trucks queued up for the deliveries, meaning they catch a lot of the non-metal contraband hidden in deliveries that can't be caught by just a metal detector. Now this won't get all of the contraband being smuggled in, but it'll get a lot of it (as you can see on the road in the image)

    I also have a metal detector at the entrance of the deliveries, which catches any metal item that was missed by any passing dogs.
