   Are you serious?  You really don't see the harm a dangerous prisoner   
   can do with a sharp pointy 3" shiv?

   Of course it is,  we Corrections Officers objected to it as we feell   
   it violates the prisonerr's rightghts to possess sharp thingies.

   Another common weapon found is a razor blade (taken from the
