Prison cell phone jammers and red tape

[Ray From Cleveland]

When it came time for lights out at Lieber Correctional Institution on the evening of July Fourth, officers at the maximum-security South Carolinaprison thought they had all 1,300 inmates accounted for.

But convicted kidnapper Jimmy Causey wasn't in his bunk, a homemade dummy stuffed under the covers in his place. By the time prison officials realized Causey was missing, he'd already been gone for nearly a full day. Authorities gave new details of his plot following his capture early Friday after more than two days on the run.

Aided by wire cutters that authorities believe were flown in by a drone, Causey made it out of his cell, exited the dorm and cut through a series of metal fences. Authorities haven't said if he had a getaway car waiting for him.

But Causey got away, and fast. By the time officials confirmed he was gone, Causey had an 18-hour head start on law enforcement. He made it 1,200 miles (1,900 km) to Austin, Texas, where he was captured.

For Stirling, it's contraband cellphones that represent the biggest security threat, both inside and out of the prison. Last month, six correctional officers were rescued after an attempted confiscation of an inmate's cellphone prompted a fight at a different prison in South Carolina.

In 2010, a veteran South Carolina correctional officer survived being shot six times at his home after officials say an inmate planned the shooting and used an illegal cellphone to coordinate with the shooter.

Stirling, who for years has spoken out about the dangers posed by inmates' access to illegal cellphones behind bars, has asked the Federal Communications Commission for permission to jam cell signals at South Carolina prisons. Chairman Ajit Pai has said he's sympathetic to the problem, but the FCC has previously said its hands are tied by a decades-old law that says the agency can grant permission to jam the public airwaves only to federal agencies, not state or local ones. Any change is opposed by the cellphone industry, out of concern it could lead to wider gaps in their networks.

SC officials: Illegal cellphone, drone aided inmate's escape

One would think that something that is so logical and so important would be a no--brainer to correct. But because of our government systems, bureaucracies and industry resistance, all we get is finger pointing instead of action.

Debate and red tape is expected when we have two sides of an issue, but who could be against cell phone jammers in prison which allow some to coordinate nefarious plots and illegal actions right from their prison cells and restrooms?

If you jam communications wouldn't that also jam access for authorities use as well?

Wow their prison must be horrible. The place I worked you did counts four times a day and the fences were equipped with sensors that if someone shook the fence it would set off an alarm. There would be no way someone could cut through them without the Control Center knowing.

This guy definitely had help on the inside.

 

[Lewdog]

Not to mention... Each shift did a perimeter fence check to make sure that the sensors were working and that all the gates were locked and the fence had no holes in it.

Yes, and cigarettes, 100 dollars a pack. And then, and it's a big and, where do they get thousands of dollars in prison when having any cash, even so much as a coin is illegal? Sounds like someone is not doing their job.

If you have a cell phone to get to people on the outside, who needs people inside? Not that I'm saying it didn't happen; it's still under investigation. What I am saying is that I think it is possible if you have such communications.

But the point is that this is something that should have been resolved years ago. We have to struggle through this mire of red tape just to allow prisons to use jammers to stop cell phone activity.

 

[Auld Phart]

Not to mention... Each shift did a perimeter fence check to make sure that the sensors were working and that all the gates were locked and the fence had no holes in it.

Made many of those trips, done twice a shift.

The money (and payments) more likely come from the outside. It's not hard for a wife of an inmate to meet a guard at Denny's and slip him or her a couple hundred bucks to sneak something in for them.

True. Also, the standing rule in prison is that if a door or gate has a lock, it should be locked at ALL times unless going through it. Can't tell you how many times I found doors and gates unlocked.

Plus on visitation day, the visitors are NOT subjected to a thorough search and can hide things in bras and crotches. Also, the convicts leaving visitation are supposed to be subjected to a thorough strip search. Few are. I did it and the cons hated me. What they called a tdc search consisted of this:

Remove all clothing
I search each piece
convicts opens mouth and lifts tongue
lowers head and runs his finger through is hair
lifts his arms
Remove any prosthetic devices
lifts bottom of feet.
Lifts penis and testicles up so you can see under them
Spreads cheeks, squats down and coughs.

A cell phone sure helps, but that doesn't change any of the preventive logistics of the prison. How do you think he got the cell phone in the first place? It's from people not doing their job.

I was part of an SRT team and we got called a lot to go to correctional facilities to shake downs, and some of the times it was to look for a cell phone. One place in particular we went to was LeCI (Lebanon Correctional Institution). That's were Donald Harvey used to be before they moved him. It's also where the head of the Aryan Brotherhood for the state of Ohio was.

While doing the search one of my friends was doing the strip search of an inmate in solitary confinement and the guy had a box pop-up clock shoved up his ass trying to hide it. Yes, a clock.

When I was no longer working for the prison I ran into a girl that was the sister of one of the guys that was locked up in the place I worked. She told me how she used to bring drugs into the prison for her brother all the time. She'd hide it in her bra or underwear. Then in our visitation they would have a popcorn machine with little popcorn bags. She would take one of those into the bathroom with her, put the drugs in the bottom of it. When the visit was finished, the piss poor visitation officers that didn't do their jobs would let the inmate take the bag of popcorn back to his cell. The rule was supposed to be anything you got at visitation... including stuff out of the vending machines and the popcorn, was supposed to be eaten in visitation, never taken back to the cell.
