Why jam all the cell transmissions when a simple GPS solution will do?

Set aside funds to allow carriers to install hardware on all cell sites servicing prisons that will pull e911 GPS info for all calls process on those sites- not just 911 calls.

If the GPS delivered is not CLEARLY outside the facility, deny the call on the network end!

A solution like this would allow for a white listing cell phones belonging to government agents or the Warden of the facility so that authorized personnel could still place calls, too.

e911 location information is already used in every digital handset out there, why not put it to use in this scenario?

I'm gonna go write my Senator a letter, now.

Yeah it really is. Ummmm it help thousands of others escape. You my friend are really smart. It would be so easy have you fall for any tricks. Does it not occur to you that all these people that are locked up arent high school drop outs but they are as well college graduates?

Last thing I want, is more government involvement in the private sector. They've requested what is within the law, and within the rights of the rest of us.

It's a near perfect example of innovation at the local level. Only concern that I would voice would be as an employee internally. Suppose worst case scenario, "hostile takeover" scenario. If you have a deputy or two that is not under wraps, they have little, if any, external communications. The signal jammers should be applied to areas that only inmates have access to. This doesn't avoid crooked deputies, but it reduces the problem to a fraction of what it is now.
