Congress Moves to Nix Cell Phones for Convicts

Currently , mobile devices are n’t relegate as contraband , allowing a highly remunerative smuggling trade to form in prison house across the country . Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California claim that illicit earphone go for as much as $ 500 to $ 1000 in her state , and that one unscrupulous prison guard made $ 150,000 in one twelvemonth off the cell trade alone .

On the other bridge player , Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia argues that earphone smuggling is a reaction to the requirement that prisoners call their families garner , which is considerably more expensive than a cell phone plan .

At any rate , the vote will now allow for plenty of clever police one - liner , such as The only prison cell you ’re gon na be see is a prison house cell , kid . Or at least that ’s what I would do if I were a cop . [ Huffington Post ]
