My brother is head of the prison SWAT team in a state pen. He says they have absolutely NO contingency plans for drones dropping contraband in the prison yard. He says it has been a problem.

Seems it wouldn't be real hard for some kind frequency jammer to interfere with a drone in the air space over a prison. Hell just set up a detection system and let the guards shoot them down for target practice.

Seems like the armed guards should have the right to shoot down a drone over prison property.
But I take it, these drones a flying fairly high making them harder targets.
But, you can limit areas outside that the prisoners can wander around. I think a prison should have much less open space for the prisoners than elementary school kids get. Maybe give them about a couple of basketball courts worth of outdoor space and that's it.
