Texas officials are working on a proposal to use cell-phone jamming technology at the Travis County jail. This technology will terminate all cell phone signals so that they may not be used in prisons. It has been performed in South Carolina and has been said that it does not interfere with two way communication between officers or outside signals. This action is being proposed because there have been a few incidents on death row where prisoners have used cell phones to threaten citizens.
In today's society, prisoners are coming up with more and more ways to break out of prison or to punish those who put them there. According to Kittle's article about this issue, cell phone use by inmates has increased because outsiders have found clever ways to get them inside the prison. Cell phone jamming is an excellent way to help prevent this from happening. This would reduce the communication between inmates and any outsider. One problem is that the jamming signal only works within the prison walls, so if an inmate found a way to make a call outside they could.
No matter what, some prisoners will find a way to get around this. However, to keep our society as safe as possible we should do what we can and help enforce cell jamming in prisons.

About Me
- Lauren
- I've always considered myself to lean more conservative, however I don't always agree with their side on issues. I was lucky enough to turn 18 right before the last Presidential Election in 2004 and had the privilege to vote. I am taking this class because it is required, but I do hope to learn more about the reasoning of our nations current state. I've always been a strong believer in "If you don't vote, then don't complain".
