The lockdown process was an overall success. Here is an official summary of the lockdown from our news partners at Dakota News Now:

“Contraband includes any article, item, or thing that poses or may pose a threat to the security of a SDDOC facility or office. This can range from a device, instrument, material, or substance which is readily capable of causing or inducing fear of death or bodily injury to illicit substances such as controlled substances and alcohol. Although some of the items retrieved are tools used in the facility, if they are not stored or used for their intended purposes, they become contraband, and in some instances, dangerous contraband.”

Items found during the lockdown include weapons that can be fashioned into weapons, illicit substances, unauthorized electronic equipment, and excess property.

Here are the pictures of the items taken during the lockdown at the South Dakota State Penitentiary:
