See How It Works03The problem
Every device you confiscate gets replaced.
Contraband devices come in over the fence, by drone, and through staff. Searches catch some of them, but the rest stay in use. Each one is a private line to the outside, where incarcerated people intimidate witnesses, direct gang activity, and run drug and fraud operations.
They could bring in a million devices, not one signal would make it out with our system.
25,840
contraband devices recovered in one year by just 20 state prison systems
65%
of those state agencies rank contraband devices among their top three issues
479
drone incidents at federal prisons in 2024, up from 23 in 2018
23
state attorneys general urged the FCC to act on contraband devices
