A new product is available to help detect where prisoners are stashing their phones in cells,even when the phone is turned off.
ESATO NEWS
Cellular phones have become the latest epidemic in prison contraband, posing a danger that extends beyond prison walls. Correctional authorities have indicated that cellular phones have become more valuable inside a prison than drugs or other contraband, and are often referred to as the new prison cash because inmates can sell minutes or cellular phone use to other inmates.
The GEO Group Inc., the second largest private prison management company in the United States, is leading the Correctional industry by implementing a new application of patented high-tech equipment for detecting and locating hidden contraband cellular phones (even if the phone is not transmitting or even turned off).
The equipment, the ORION Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD) manufactured by REI in Algood Tennessee, responds to electronic components, allowing the user to detect and locate electronic items (such as hidden cellular phones), even if the electronic item is turned off or not transmitting. This technology offers a working solution for correctional facilities to manage contraband cellular phones.
Previously correctional institutions were limited to physical searches or struggling with other forms of technology that were ineffective or inefficient for detecting and locating hidden cellular phones, or violated FCC regulations by potentially interfering with legitimate cellular phone transmissions. http://www.reiusa.net

The thought of smuggling a phone into jail is ridiculous. First off it can be done but how do you prevent other prisoners snitching you to the guards.
