Reducing Contraband

[Arkham4ever]

Hello guys, my prison is overflooded with contraband although i check all the cells every 3-4 nights. also it seems that many of the contraband is thrown right through walls, into the yard.
is there any way to prevent this? or let the guards search the yard for contraband?

A few things to consider, start of new prison check off failure conditions, also try placing metal detectors at Deliveries, Reception, and Canteen entrances. Plus shakedown once every few cycles during sleep time.

ive been spamming these stupid metal detectors up to the point where my power station gave in. really frustrating that you cant simply link some power stations together

Build a outter wall with "staff only" access, put dogs in the visitation room if you can spend.

10 tiles between inner and outer perimeter = no more thrown stuff

Inner AND outer? so the outer walls of my prison should be made out of perimeter walls surounded by another perimeter wall?

just fence should work, especially outermost.
Making the outermost layer a perimeter wall is a waste of money

Next to double walls. Consider having a dog sniff out the import area.

It's impossible to reduce the contraband. It doesn't matter if you fill your prison with dogs and metal detectors.

All you can do is shakedowns everyday,

For instance, I've 5 legendary prisioners in permanent lockdown, and they keep getting shotguns, sniper rifles, booze, drugs, etc from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nowhere, everyday.

This game is designed for you to never be able to fully control your prison, or it is just plain broken.

that sounds like some rare reputations (that are not bug-free by the way)

What helped me the most was surounding my whole prison with 2 perimeter walls, both 10 tiles away from any place prisoners have access to.

not a single cell phone has been found or magically "thrown" into the yard. but it seems that when you ramp up your amount of prisoners the more stuff gets into your prison.

Lots of good advise here. When you set up outer fence and 10 tiles in another fence. Also have a warden Saphara Acknova she will make money from counterband found.
