Section consolidates sections 396c, 396d, and 396e of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed. Words "upon conviction thereof" were deleted as unnecessary, since punishment cannot be imposed until after conviction. Words "transported in violation of this section or section 1761" were added after the word "merchandise" to continue existing law. The provisions of said section 396e of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., relating to venue, were omitted as covered by section 3237 of this title. Minor changes were made in translations and phraseology. AMENDMENTS 1996 - Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 104-294 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $50,000". 1994 - Pub. L. 103-322, which directed the amendment of this section by substituting "under this title" for "not more than $1,000", could not be executed because the phrase "not more than $1,000" did not appear in text subsequent to amendment of subsec. (b) by Pub. L. 102-393. See 1992 Amendment note below. 1992 - Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 102-393 substituted "$50,000" for "$1,000". -End- -CITE- 18 USC CHAPTER 87 - PRISONS 01/19/04 -EXPCITE- TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE PART I - CRIMES CHAPTER 87 - PRISONS -HEAD- CHAPTER 87 - PRISONS -MISC1- Sec. 1791.

Section consolidates sections 753j and 908 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed. The section was broadened to include the taking or sending out of contraband from the institution. This was suggested by representatives of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice. In other respects the section was rewritten without change of substance. The words "narcotic", "drug", "weapon" and "contraband" were omitted, since the insertion of the words "contrary to any rule or regulation promulgated by the attorney general" preserves the intent of the original statutes. Words "guilty of a felony" were deleted as unnecessary in view of definitive section 1 of this title. (See also reviser's note under section 550 of this title.) Minor verbal changes also were made. -REFTEXT- REFERENCES IN TEXT Schedules I, II, and III, referred to in subsec. (d)(1)(A), (B), probably mean schedules I to III of the schedules of controlled substances, which are set out in section 812(c) of Title 21, Food and Drugs. -MISC2- AMENDMENTS 1996 - Subsec. (c).
