Crossed signals over jail mobile phone jamming
The New South Wales Government has accused the Federal Government of blocking a trial of mobile phone jamming in the State's jails, reports ABC.net.au. "State prison authorities are currently prevented from applying for, or installing new jamming technology. State Justice Minister John Hatzistergos wants a trial of new technology at Lithgow jail, saying it is a serious security issue. "The fact is that the nature of the prisoners we are getting in the system are certainly much more dangerous than we've ever experienced in the past," he said. The State Government also announced new penalties for people smuggling phones into jails". How inmates around the world use cell phones is a recurring issue. cf related articles: -- Prisoners shown smoking drugs and using mobiles - A Brazilian TV station has shocked the country by screening footage of maximum security prisoners freely smoking cannabis and using mobile phones. -- Inmate Sentenced for Nextel Phone Scam - A US inmate used a jail telephone to impersonate Hollywood executives and dupe Nextel Communications out of more than 1,000 cell phones. -- Mobiles in top security prison - Four mobiles were discovered hidden by inmates at one of Britain's top security prisons. -- Staying well connected in jail - A mafia don in prison in New Delhi, planned the killing of Police officers by SMS. -- Convict ran drug ring from prison - A Canadian inmate organized a cocaine run from Miami to Canada.
