Senate Greenlights Jamming Cell Signals Near Prisons
Its not going to happen.
Someone with some brains is going to throw this out the window where it belongs. Its too many flaws in this approach, and its not really going to change anything. Prison inmates will still communicate via landlines with paid/affiliated guards. How do you think the cell phones were getting in there? the same way the prisoners are going to be able to use landlines. Its money and politics. The only way to control prisoners from communicating with others and setting up stuff on the outside or inside is by hiring more intelligent guards and enforce stronger penalties to violators.

First of all as a rule, Officers are not allowed to have or use cell phones while on duty !!!
Second fact yes their can be a bad apple. But most officers are not. and do their jobs well.
The third fact. Inmates do not need paid/affiliated officers to use a land line. Most inmates can use the phone every day am/pm. Most cell phones used by inmates are smuggled in by inmate visitors and packages, not officers. And most officers are very intelligent. Sound like maybe you spent some time in a prison. So not true !!!

You sound foolish.
If officers are not allowed to have cell phones then its obvious how their getting into the prisons. And you say that visitors "Smuggle" them in there. Are You F'ing serious? 😳
so who's job is it to check these visitors? Ok yeah just what I thought. Then you want to say well it sounds like you spent some time in there. Why because I'm smart enough to know that we don't need all this wasteless jamming technology instead we need make the officers and vistors that you say take responsibility. Like I said, raise the penalty on violators weither its the officers who get caught or the visitors. Its like with illegal immigrants. The US government were proposing to raise the penalty to violators. I.E. Company owners who em...

First of all I agree with you in ref. to the jamming issue. We do NOT need this.
All I'm trying to say is most prison contraband is passed by visitors and packages sent to inmates.Not dirty staff for the most part.Keep in mind you can have a visiting room with hundreds of visitors and inmates. And only four officers. You can only catch so much. And when a visitor and or inmate gets nabbed, they do get arrested.

So what i was saying is that its the officers fault. four or one guard, its still their duty to search for contraband.
But now get this, I swear I just got off a phone call here at sprint with a prison guard at a prison in California.
So i brought this issue up, he did say they have to leave the cell phones in the car. But he said that its mostly dirty cops and you have religion chapels and education teachers that all come into the prisons bringing in contraband. He says they are getting smart. he says that they use TracPhones and he said that when they use the phones they will drop it off. The guards will find it and search the numbers. He says now they drop the phones and then keep the Sim cards so there are no numbers to go throu...

And just some info. NYS. has a unit that travels to it's prisons at random. A they park a van outside the prison and monitor for cell phone traffic. And once the do lock on to a call they can and do ID both party's and can lock onto the location of the phone in the prison. Most of the contraband cell phones the the dept finds are trac phone or pre- paid type phones.

I can think of several pens that directly abut public and residential areas. I don't see how they *aren't* going to interfere with public cell phone usage...

I don't understand why anyone cares, let them try and block the signals and see what happens, do you personally live near a prison or visit one daily? No, then sit down and shut up.

It dont matter. Your are stupid. Out of sight out of mind? GTFOH. I aint giving the gov no more power that they dont need. Its our decision as the People not big wigs. 😡

Does your daddy know you're using his computer again without him knowing?
I think the general concensus is that IN THEORY this is a good idea if it can be done without affecting outlying communities. That being said...let them do it case-by-case. If, in Case #1 it doesn't affect anyone but inmates...then that particular case is a win and you can get off your daddy's computer...go to class, stay in school.

But he is probably 13, and getting back to playing Grand Theft Auto IV. He will be in prision soon enough and he wants to keep his Twitter account up to date.

The point is, you don't run society for the benefits of a prison and ignore inept security. If they can block the call inside the prison and inside the prison only, I'd be OK for it. But, not all prison's are in rural areas where that would be possible. Urban and Suburban prison's can interfere with normal cell usage and that is just plain wrong. I don't see how blocking out peripheral areas to the prison for lazy or inept security is needed.
