Here is a video report about Maryland Prison officials who are struggling to prevent the illegal use of cell phones by prison inmates. More than 900 cell phones were confiscated from inmates last year.

Inmates have reportedly used smuggled cell phones to make extortion calls, and even order hits on witnesses.

NOTE: It makes you wonder just how prevalent this problem is around the country. . . . (VIDEO)

Cheaper ones are available. But, how does one get it without the Feds knowing you have it? That IS the question.

It wouldn’t take much to turn a prison into an urgent care medical facility, or a hospital. They have the beds.

Cell Phone Jammer? Tips accepted in the jar on the counter. Thanks.

Even better, turn up the wattage on the cell phone jammers and turn the prison cells into on big microwave oven.

I'd like to see it done very quietly and done for an extended length of time, just to see what ends up in the net! Could be some very interesting names and details to be had for the effort.

re: Aclu won’t stand for that

Well then, all the more reason to go with it. Anything the ACLU is against can't be all bad. I would do it just to mess with them. Good thing I don't run the world, I would spend most of my time just messing with the bad people.
