Reducing introduction of contraband into Green Hill school.
SB 6021 requires the Washington Department of Children, Youth, and Families to implement a body scanner program at Green Hill school (a state juvenile rehabilitation facility) to detect contraband like drugs and cell phones. The program mandates scanners capable of finding hidden items under clothing, with gender-responsive policies for screenings of employees, visitors, contractors, and inmates, while prioritizing radiation safety and alternative searches for vulnerable individuals. It also requires substance use disorder assessments and treatment for inmates with detected contraband, and annual reporting on scan results, contraband types, and treatment referrals. The bill directs the department to use existing funding and equipment, with no new costs specified, to comply with these requirements.
