The think about jails is that they mix all levels of criminals, and they never know what they're going to get. The issue is keeping contraband out of the jails, and it is legitimate. If your going to put someone in the jail, you have to make sure they're not bringing in anything. Also, what might be somewhat valuable on the street is immensely valuable in the jail. Especailly with gangs involved (who might set up someone to take a minor charge to bring something in), it's a necessary security measure.

A bigger issue would be, why are they locking people up for such minor charges?
