How to stop dial-a-crime prisoners
Many prisoners are using smuggled cell phones to organize crimes from the prison. Some of them have been convicted to life sentences because of this. What can we possibly do to stop the smuggling of cell phones in jails?
A man was recently murdered in London by an organized crime form a murderer who organized the crime from jail. The cell phone and the charger were found as evidence on his place. Many of these cases have been going on since many cell phones have been smuggled since 2005. All of this murders are been convicted “behind bars”. The Ministry of Justice says 3,473 mobile phones or sim cards were discovered in prisons in England and Wales between October 2006 and September 2007. They not only organize murders but drug deals as well.
One of the options of preventing this problem is jamming the signal of the cell phone around the prison. What about now? What ethical issues could arise from blocking the signals of cell phones under prison grounds? What about the prison workers who need to use their cell phones, or if there is any emergency? What other solutions can we give to prevent this from happening?
What use to be the most useful tool of technology for us has become a weapon to attempt to people’s life.

I can understand that prisoners should not have cell phones because they can be misused however what is discussed but not seen as bad is that employees of the prison are one of the sources providing the prisoners with cell phones. This is a form of contraband and they are being rewarded good money for doing this. Shouldn’t the ones who contraband the cell phones and in particular those who work for the prison and should be trustworthy be penalized with more than being simply fired?
ResponderEliminarI think jamming the signal of cellphone is not a good idea, and agreeing with leonchi that those employees who provide cell phones to prisoners should be penalyzed rather than simply fired, and as well as giving heavir penalties to the prisoners can decrease the number of cellphones in prisons I believe.
ResponderEliminarI agree with sexyasian and leonchi, that personel who provide the convicts with cell phones should also be penalized because if a crime is commited because this criminal got a cell phone, he would be a potential acompliss.
