Alexander Larsen, Grayslake: “I would allow them, but with some technology implemented to limit their accessibility. The easiest solution would be to install commercial-use cell-signal portable jammer into the classrooms. These could be small in area of effect, so after exiting the classroom, normal functionality would return.”
Some US federal and local prisons are pushes to use cell phone jamming technology to stop the illegal mobile phone use in prison. To help keep contraband from being smuggled into state correction facilities, the Tennessee Department of Corrections asked the Federal Communications Commission to lift its ban on cell phone-jamming technologies in jails and prisons. South Carolina prison officials have been pushing the Federal Communications Commission for several years to allow cell phone signals at prisons to be jammed.
In the information age, mobile phones seem to have become a necessity for life, and nowadays it is not uncommon for students to bring mobile phones to school. Although small and medium-sized schools around the world are not allowed to carry mobile phones while they are in school, the phenomenon has repeatedly been banned. In recent days, a high school in the provincial capital has been forced to turn off the lights in the evening and turn on the “high-tech” — mobile phone screening device. I didn’t think that the kind act attracted some parents’ complaints. One was that they were afraid that the screening instrument was not good for the students’ health, and the other was that they would lose contact in the middle of the night. The school was forced to stop using mobile phone shielding.
Although the phone jammer is so effective. Rabo admitted that there are also concerns about the effectiveness of signal jammers, adding there are no jammers at the Medium Security Compound.Garcia said installing jammers “is a tacit (admission) of the fact that they (officials) cannot even implement that policy (prohibiting the use of cellphones). “There is, I suppose, an existing policy to block all cellphone communications (from inmates). We bought (signal) jammers. In other words, cellphones are illegal. The reason you’re putting in jammers is because even if these are banned, I don’t know how cellphones still find their way inside (the NBP),” Garcia said. Of course, the jammer device only prevents prisoners from using their phones, and it doesn’t stop them from smuggling.
