System and method for detecting and controlling contraband devices

A method for performing a contraband device threat analysis of a controlled-environment facility, the method comprising:

• conducting a first contraband device scan at a first location, the first contraband device scan detecting an absence or a presence of a contraband wireless communication device within a first scan area;
• conducting a second contraband device scan at a second location, the second contraband device scan detecting an absence or a presence of a contraband wireless communication device within a second scan area;
• analyzing results of the first contraband device scan and the second contraband device scan;
• and
• calculating a threat score for the controlled-environment facility based on the analysis.

A system for determining a contraband threat level of a controlled-environment facility, the system comprising:

• a remote scanner that includes:
• a radio transceiver configure to receive instructions from a terminal, and to carry out a plurality of contraband device scans;
• and
• a memory configured to store scan results of the plurality of device scans;
• and
• a location subsystem configured to determine a current location of the remote scanner;
• and
• the terminal that includes:
• a transceiver;
• and
• one or more processors and/or circuits configured to:
• cause the transceiver to transmit the instructions to the remote scanner, the instructions including a scan location;
• and
• receive via the transceiver, scan results from the remote scanner.
