The penalty, if you are convicted, ranges from 3 months in jail to 12 years in prison depending on severity and if you have a criminal record. Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 289-02-020 defines contraband as any substance or item not specifically permitted by the SCORE Jail administration. Contraband includes anything that is not provided by the SCORE Jail or any item that has been provided that has been altered from or used outside of its original intended purpose or use. Possessing excess amounts of items provided by the SCORE Jail may be considered contraband.

Smoking or vaping is prohibited inside and outside the building. This includes visiting booths in the public lobby area. If you violate this rule, you are subject to a fine and your visit will be stopped.
