House passes Cellphone Contraband Act of 2010, prisoners go back to writing letters

Oh, we know all about doin\’ time. We watched both Oz and The Wire in their entirety, and have seen Let\’s Go To Prison, like, eight times. As an example, we know that you simply only do two days inside the joint: the day you go in, and the day you go out. And we know that tattoo guns are available (when you have access to an old walkman or Playstation).We also know that cellphones are contraband, and rightfully so: you wouldn\’t want an inmate ordering a success on someone, or running their record label from in \” the stir.\” That\’s why we stand with the CTIA in support of S.1749, or The Mobile phone Contraband Act of 2010. Approved in April by the Senate, and passed by the house yesterday, this amendment to title 18 of america Code prohibits \” possession or use of cellphones and similar wireless devices by Federal prisoners.\” And once it\’s signed into law by the President, we\’re sure that the no-goodniks will stop sneaking handsets in and we are able to forget all that silly talk of prison cellphone jamming once and for all.
