Allow Cell Phone Jammers in Prisons

Allow Cell Phone Jammers in Prisons

The Attorney General has requested that the Federal Communications Commission permit the use of cell phone jammers within correctional facilities.
The Attorney General of Georgia is urging the federal agency to remove the prohibition on cell phone jammers, which currently restricts state officials from utilizing these devices to prevent the use of contraband phones within correctional facilities.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) presently forbids the utilization of cell phone "signal jammers" within correctional facilities, including prisons and jails. According to the office of Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, this prohibition also applies to state and local governments. On Tuesday, Carr formally requested a review of this ban in a correspondence addressed to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.
The information presented in the letter indicates that illicit mobile devices frequently enter correctional facilities, creating risks for both inmates and correctional staff. In the state of Georgia, authorities confiscated 8,074 contraband phones in 2023 and have already seized 5,482 in 2024.
In March, officials in Georgia announced the findings of Operation Skyhawk, a comprehensive investigation that spanned several months and focused on contraband within the facilities of the Georgia Department of Corrections.
Authorities confiscated 273 illegal cell phones within the facilities and apprehended 150 individuals, among whom were eight employees of the GDC who were promptly terminated. Drones were utilized to facilitate the smuggling of contraband into the premises.
In response to inquiries regarding his stance on the request, a representative for U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff, a Democrat from Georgia, highlighted that he has co-sponsored legislation alongside Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley aimed at addressing contraband issues within federal prisons.
In 2022, Ossoff conducted a bipartisan investigation lasting ten months into the U.S. Penitentiary Atlanta, currently known as FCI Atlanta. The results highlighted the necessity of eradicating illegal cell phones within correctional facilities.
