Mobile phones are a security threat in Prisons

From Zdnet: "The ICAC said the presence of mobile phones in gaols present dangers such as "assisting inmates in arranging and executing criminal enterprises", providing a channel for inmates to conspire on acts of violence or organise escape attempts, and more "sophisticated phones" may also allow inmates to take photographs of correctional staff to identify them to outside collaborators. The ICAC said that in the case of the MRRC -- which houses approximately 900 inmates, most of whom are awaiting sentence – phones could facilitate the intimidation of prosecution witnesses and allow "unconstrained communication" with outside allies.
