Disciplinary infractions for substance use by offenders dropped by 50% the year after a pilot began using TextBehind.
RALEIGH, N.C. — State prisons will transition next month to a new mail system in a bid to reduce contraband smuggling.
Starting Oct. 18, mail to inmates in a state prison must be sent directly to TextBehind. Under the new system inmates will receive copies of the letters sent to them.

Prisons officials said contraband smuggling is the main reason to contract with the Maryland-based company.
“The safety and security of our prisons are always foremost,” Commissioner of Prisons Todd Ishee said. “Reducing the volume of drugs and other contraband entering our prisons will help us protect our staff, the offenders in our custody and the general public. This new system will be faster and safer.”
