In 620, smart outlet 300 determines whether device 110 is contraband based on the performed contraband detection. In 622, if device 110 is not determined to be a contraband device, then smart outlet 300 begins provisioning power to device 110. In some embodiments, provisioning power includes activating smart outlet 300 from an inactive state to an active state and/or activing smart power adapter 200 from an inactive state to an active state. As previously noted, in some embodiments, the default state of smart power components (e.g., smart power adapter 200, smart outlet 300) within contraband detection system 100 is inactive which means that they are not capable of relaying power to connected devices. In 624, if device 110 is determined to be a contraband device, then smart outlet 300 does not provision power (e.g., remains in an inactive state) and sends an alert to monitoring center. In some embodiments, the alert indicates the attempted request for power, reason(s) why the request was denied, and any information with respect to device 110, smart power adapter 200, and smart outlet 300.

FIG. 7 illustrates a flowchart diagram of an exemplary method 700 for performing contraband detection by a monitoring center within an exemplary contraband detection system 100 of FIG. 1, according to embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, method 700 can be performed by monitoring center 400.
