03The 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.

Contraband is more than phones. Cellular modems, hotspots, tablets and drones get inside too.
