3. (3) any article or substance the possession of which is specifically prohibited by written facility regulations;
4. (4) any article or substance the possession of which is specifically prohibited by the provisions of this Subtitle; and
5. (5) any article or substance which may present a substantial sanitation or health threat to the facility.

Any such order shall be in writing and shall state:

2. (2) the time and date of release;
3. (3) the name of the prisoner from whom the property is confiscated; and
