Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr recently urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to review its policy to allow cell phone jammers in state and local prisons. signal jammerThe current FCC ban on the use of jammers in state and local government facilities has contributed to the proliferation of banned cell phones in prisons, leading to a series of violent crimes and endangering the safety of prisoners, correctional officers and the public.

We must take more aggressive measures to combat violent crime, so we call on the federal government to take action as soon as possible to remove this major obstacle to public safety."

　　In the past year, Georgia confiscated a total of 8,074 contraband phones, and in 2024, 5,482 were seized in just a few months. These contraband phones are not only used for daily illegal communications, but also used by criminals to plan and execute complex criminal operations. For example, an imprisoned leader of the "Yves Saint Laurent Squad" gang once directed the assassination of an 88-year-old Georgia veteran through a contraband phone. In North Carolina, a gang leader used a cell phone in prison to order the kidnapping of a prosecutor's father. In California, prison gangs use contraband phones to commit murders and drug deals.
