FWIW when I worked for a local government doing IT and software dev I had to go into the local prison a couple dozen times to set up some equipment. There were zero metal detectors, searches, etc. for me when I entered, and I could have easily smuggled in just about anything. In fact I had a credit card shaped knife that I made sure to remove from my wallet everytime I went in, but there would have been nothing to stop me otherwise.

Had you actually brought materials to the prisoners, whoever was doing the actual smuggling would have found out through the grapevine and you would have been promptly arrested. My humble conjecture.
