FIG. 1 illustrates a diagram of an exemplary contraband detection system 100, according to embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, contraband detection system 100 is deployed within a controlled environment such as a prison where enforcement of rules and policies associated with device usage is necessary. A contraband device is any device that is not authorized for use or is authorized for only limited use (e.g., only allowed to receive power from certain outlets or can only receive power during specific periods of the day) within the controlled environment. In some embodiments, contraband detection system 100 includes a device 110 that is to be powered within the controlled environment and power cable 112 that, in some embodiments, includes USB connector 114 and, in some embodiments, includes a smart power adapter 116, a smart outlet 120 that, in some embodiments, includes electrical outlet 122 and USB connector 124, and connection 126 between smart outlet 120 and monitoring center 130. Only one device 110, one power cable 112, one smart outlet 120, and one monitoring center 130 are depicted in FIG. 1 for simplicity. It is understood that contraband detection system 100 may include more than one of device 110, one power cable 112, one smart outlet 120, and one monitoring center 130.
