The phones, which are the newest form of contraband in prisons, are often found during raids.  The fines of storing the phones, which are returned to the prisoners upon release, is left to the taxpayers.  Several government officials are now calling for an end to the practice.

CA Wireless and CJAM.com, subsidiaries of CellAntenna Corporation, work with prisons worldwide to combat illegal cellphones.  Through detection, managed access, and jamming, prison officials are able to control communication by inmates.  Visit CJAM.com to learn more about solutions for correctional facilities.
