Charleston, South Carolina (WCIV)-After discovering that the largest drug bubble in South Carolina’s history had burst, tonight again called for illegal mobile phones to be removed from South Carolina prisons.
The mobile jammer law was first introduced in 2019 and must now be reintroduced even before discussion. Attorney General Alan Wilson said on Monday: “I am calling all members of the federal delegation in South Carolina to help us change the federal regulations that prohibit us from using mobile phones.”
Prison interference is a security system used in prisons. It can not only block unwanted calls in the prison, but also allows only authorized calls.
Senator Lindsey Graham co-founded the cell phone jammer Act of 2019. He is waiting to be reintroduced into the Senate.
Conversely, Rep. James Clyburn described the cost of making prison calls as “excessive and blatantly unfair for low-income families.”
These retreat policies devalue families and cause many prisoners to risk violating prison rules. We need a balanced approach to enable prisoners to maintain regular contact with their families at low cost while preventing illegal mobile phone activities. In addition, we must note that cell phone jammer technology does not interfere with cellular phone services in communities near prisons, including emergency calls.
Currently, the market value of smuggled mobile phones is approximately US$3,000. SCDC director Bryan Stirling said: “This is the ultimate silver bullet that makes these phones no more valuable than paperweights.” According to Stirling, the cost of making legal calls from prison trays or self-service kiosks. It is 0.055 cents per minute.
Sterling said: “I don’t think any 15 minutes of phone calls that cost 15 cents will be considered too high.” In fact, it takes 10 years for prison inmates to run on the prison tray before they can get some prisoners for smuggling calls. Paid.
Where is the breakup? “I think there has been a problem with the cost of mobile phone calls for some time. Sterling said that is not the case in South Carolina, and it has been a long time. We returned to Clyburn’s office to clarify their first In other words, they told us that they could not answer.
Another problem is that traffic jams will spread to areas outside the prison. In a 2019 test of the Broad River complex, the Justice Department found that bleeding was not a problem. “This overflowing stuff is a red herring from the (mobile) industry. You know it works. The federal government can destroy the signal. Why can’t the state? Sterling said.
We asked CTIA (Mobile Communications Industry Association): “The challenge of smuggling mobile phones requires a multi-stakeholder approach. The wireless industry attaches great importance to this issue and actively supports the provision of solutions, such as managed access systems. It can intercept calls from illegal mobile phones while protecting legal communications. The industry has allocated a lot of resources and funds to help corrective personnel solve this problem, and continues to cooperate with decision makers at all levels of government to implement effective solutions.”
