Georgia is leading the way in a 23-state coalition in the continued battle to combat contraband cell phones in prisons and jail. Attorney General Chris Carr and Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin recently penned a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) supporting a proposal that would allow states to use jamming technology to stop contraband cell phones.
“Inmates are using contraband cell phones to direct violent crimes, and innocent Georgians are losing their lives,” said Carr. “We fought the Biden administration on this very issue for years, and we’ve prosecuted the violent gangs that are operating in our prisons. Our efforts to combat this public safety crisis are unwavering, and we’re grateful to finally have a partner in the White House who’s willing to work with us to protect the people of our state.”
