This past October National Public Radio reported that there might be thousands of prison inmates using cell phones while in jail.
The problem with this of course is that cell phones are contraband in all correctional facilities.
The problem has gotten so bad that Maryland State Senator Ed DeGrange said he was sitting at his desk when an inmate called him on his cell phone with a list of general complaints!
A warden in Texas also reported that he had received a call from the mother of an inmate demanding that the warden do something to improve cell phone reception in the prison so that she could talk to her son easily.
I guess we might as well oblige the inmates and set up their cells like the photo above?
