PRESIDING JUSTICE McCUSKEY delivered the Opinion of the court:
_________________________________________________________________

     Following a jury trial, the defendant, Angelo Dal Collo, was
convicted of unlawful possession of contraband in a penal insti-
tution  (720 ILCS 5/31A--1.1 (West 1996)).  He was subsequently
sentenced to a seven-year term of imprisonment, to be served
consecutively to his current term.  On appeal, the defendant
argues:  (1) the State failed to prove him guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt; and (2) the trial court erred at sentencing
when it considered the threat of serious harm as an aggravating
factor.  After a careful review of the record, we affirm.
                                   FACTS
     At trial, correctional officer Charles Garrison testified
that on December 3, 1995, he was performing random pat-down
searches of inmates returning from the gymnasium at Hill Correc-
tional Center.  Garrison stopped the defendant as he came out of
the gymnasium and proceeded to pat him down.  In the course of
the search, he found a broken file clip in the defendant's front
jeans pocket.  
     Garrison further testified that the clip was made of metal
and was approximately 2 to 2
