Contraband in jail refers to any items that are prohibited or restricted within the facility, as they can pose security risks or disrupt order. This typically includes weapons, drugs, alcohol, cell phones, and any tools or materials that could facilitate escape or harm. Additionally, unauthorized personal items, such as excessive cash or clothing, may also be classified as contraband. The specific definition can vary by jurisdiction and facility.

You had a 1.5 yrs to go on probation and vop with an intraduction of contraban a cigarette the judge sentenced the to 2 five year sentences to run concurrent you want to sever the cases and appeal the?

You were on probation release with 1.5 years to finish. Even though you were released, you returned to visit the jail jail with the intent of introducing contraband into the jail. This act caused you to VOP and, in addition to your VOP, introduciing the contraband was a separate criminal charge for which you were tried, found guilty, and sentenced to 2 additional years. So-- as I understand it; the VOP returns you to jail to serve out the unexpired 1.5 year term of your original sentence. In addition you were given an additional 2 year sentence for the 'contraband' charge - both sentences to run concurrently. The original sentence expires in 1.5 years leaving the added contraband charge (which runs concurrently) only an additional 6 months to run after that. QUESTION: Why do you want have the contraband charge severed from the original sentence? It only gives you 6 more months in jail (for which you should be able to earn some "good" time while you're "in" - if you behave yourself). What's the point?

What was considered contraband during the Civil War?

During the Civil War, contraband referred to enslaved people who escaped from Confederate territories and sought refuge in Union lines.

This classification led to the establishment of policies that provided for the care and eventual emancipation of these individuals. The contraband status played a significant role in the evolving views on slavery and contributed to the eventual push for the Emancipation Proclamation.
