New Program Wants To Keep Cell Phones Out Of Prisons

Getting contraband cell phones out of prisons. That’s the goal of a new pilot program launching next month in Maryland. Meghan McCorkell has more on how this could help public safety.

The new pilot program to get cell phones out of the hands of inmates is thanks to a new federal grant, and some say it can’t come soon enough.

Marge Shipley says a cell phone behind prison walls killed her son.

Oh crap...why would they have a cell phone anyway? I don't think the U.S. Constitution provides a cell phone for prisoners. And you don't need a federal grant to get them out. That is just another way for the Maryland government to steal money from the U.S. taxpayers. Here's a thought...lets make the Maryland lawmakers spend 1 day a week searching prison cells for and removing cell phones. At least they would be paid for doing something constructive.
