FCC - Combating Contraband Cell Phones in Prison Handout

"PUTTING AN END TO ILLEGAL CELL PHONE USE IN PRISONS
The FCC has made it a top priority to put an end to illegal cell phone use by inmates in prisons. Contraband cell phones have been used by inmates to arrange the murder of witnesses and public safety officers, traffic in drugs, and manage criminal enterprises. This illegal practice jeopardizes the safety of America’s communities and public safety officials."
