Cell Phones Pose Prison Challenge In Wireless-Happy Sweden
Over in Sweden, the problem of prisoners using smuggled-in mobile phones has become such a big issue that the government will now let prisons set up jamming equipment, blocking the ability to use mobile phones within their prisons. Otherwise, mobile phone jamming equipment is illegal. The article also mentions other nations where jail-based mobile phone use is becoming an increasing problem. Of course, what's going to happen in the future when we all have mobile phone embedded in our ear already?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
