Directs the commissioner of corrections and community supervision to establish contraband screening at correctional facilities including canines at the entrances and a third-party secure vendor mail program.

This bill requires the commissioner of corrections and community supervision in New York to set up screening for contraband at correctional facilities. This includes using dogs at the entrances and implementing a secure mail program through a third-party vendor to prevent illegal items from entering the facilities.

Supporters of the bill argue that it enhances the safety and security of correctional facilities by preventing contraband from entering. They believe that using canines and a secure mail program will effectively reduce the risks associated with smuggled items, ultimately protecting both staff and inmates.

Critics of the bill may argue that the measures could lead to increased costs for correctional facilities and may not effectively address the root causes of contraband smuggling. They might also express concerns about the potential for overreach and the impact on inmates' rights to receive mail.
