18 U.S.C. § 1791(a)(1)

It’s a Federal crime to knowingly provide a prohibited object to a Federal

prisoner.

The Defendant can be found guilty of this crime only if all the following

facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt:

(1) [inmate’s name] was an inmate of a Federal prison or correctional

facility at the time stated in the indictment;

(2) the Defendant knowingly provided or attempted to provide a

prohibited object to [inmate’s name]; and

(3) providing or attempting to provide the object to [inmate’s name]

violated [a statute] [a rule or order issued under a statute].

To “provide” an object to a person is to knowingly deliver or transfer the

object to another person directly or by indirect means.

A “prohibited object” is [describe the object as enumerated in subsection (d)

(1) of the statute].

The knowing transfer, delivery, or provision of [describe the object as

enumerated in subsection (d) (1) of the statute] to a Federal prisoner at the time

stated in the indictment would have violated [a statute] [a rule or order issued

under a statute].
