I had a keychain screwdriver tool that they flagged as contraband. I suppose we might be amazed at what certain persons might try to use to walk out of that building when they are brought over for court. Now, I don't even bother wearing a belt when I go down then. lol
Wouldn't want a prisoner using that little nail file to saw out the bars, would you? ;-)
They also forbid tape measures.
Not sure what nefarious deeds one could accomplish with a tape measure.
Some years ago I got third option to leave in car or lose. They broke off the little deal used to clean under the fingrnails!!
I am still angry! I went in to a hearing one evening and they took my tweezers. When I left, the tweezers were sitting there where they guard had left them. Do you think the @#$% would give it back to me? NO! I had to go out and buy a new one - they're not cheap, you know!!!!! Grrrrrr....
Crochet needles? Pens and pencils are more dangerous than a crochet needle.
What's a crochet needle? I always use crochet hooks when crocheting.
