The paranoid believe the phones are being used for conspiracy, but the families know different. They are simply used just like you and I use them...for the majority of inmates....to chat. The gaurds pick and choose who to sell them to and for a very high price...They dont choose high powered gang members and the like, they are cops, corrupt cops, not fools. MCI charges 25.00 for a 15 minute call that is constantly inturupted by recordings and is listened in on by gaurds...there is no privacy and NO RESPECT...for an obscene amount of money....no wonder the inmates are drawn to the sweet alternative that the GAURDS And COPS provide for high fees!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[trixieloowho]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 7th 2008 1:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 1,000 Cell Phones Smuggled Into CA Prisons]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/02/1-000-cell-phones-smuggled-into-ca-prisons/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/02/1-000-cell-phones-smuggled-into-ca-prisons/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hard to beleive this is happening ,I mean if you can't keep the criminals in jail from smuggling something this large how can we keep our borders secure and defend against terrorists ??

Simply pass laws that say felons implicitly volunteered by committing crimes. If prisoners are convicted for violent crimes or ambitious enough to get 7 years or more - freeze them. I suspect there is a lot less chance of riots and other prison problems when no prisoner faces more than 7 years and none of that for violence.<br><br>Give the prisoner the option of when to attempt thaw - at sentence end or wait until a given success criteria is achieved. While we can't guarantee to thaw them yet, we will learn eventually. The early thaws will actually be serving society rather than collecting free room and board.<br><br>On volume basis it will save the public money. Prisons will need a lot less space per prisoner. Prison staff will mainly be maintenance. Vastly reduced security can focus almost exclusively only preventing break-ins. Electricity etc fo cryo storage will tend to balance out against no cost for food, medicine, etc. for breathing prisoners. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wellduh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2007 4:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 1,000 Cell Phones Smuggled Into CA Prisons]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/02/1-000-cell-phones-smuggled-into-ca-prisons/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/02/1-000-cell-phones-smuggled-into-ca-prisons/</guid><description><![CDATA[Imprisonment is the modern replacement for the ancient practice of enslaving criminals and reducing their status to that of animals. All races practiced it with in the last 1000 years - some within the last 200 years. Overall imprisonment is merely an economic siphon to the prison suppliers and staff and even the prisoners.<br><br>The early inventors of imprisonment never thought it would change minds. Originally it was used only when the normal punishments (beheading, chopping off hand, etc) on a VIP would cause more trouble. By imprisoning them, the government negated a person's influence until it made no difference to the government's plans. Often that was a lifetime.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wellduh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2007 4:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 1,000 Cell Phones Smuggled Into CA Prisons]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/02/1-000-cell-phones-smuggled-into-ca-prisons/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/02/1-000-cell-phones-smuggled-into-ca-prisons/</guid><description><![CDATA[WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, LEAVE IT TO A CRIMINAL OR HIS MULE TO THINK OF SUCH A THING.

Its the damn over paid prison gaurds. They are also responsible for trading, smuggling and selling drugs. NOt only that but they purposely create a hostile enviornment so that when the inmates snap , they can say that more man hours are needed, more funds are needed...etc... It IS THE most corrupt union of workers in the world! Inmates are NEVER offered a chance to learn, improve themselves or REHABILITATE! They are purposely kept down and treated like animals to falsely create jobs and job security to folks who are controling slave drivers. animals themselves, really. As a family member of an imate , I too am purposely treated like a criminal, an animal. So that the guards can feel superior, and inflate thier growing egos. They must be tiny little people inside. And while were at it, if you give the man a sentance of 15 years, and he counts every day of those years, and is a model inmate in a hellish situation, have the decency to honor the parole date. Let him out and keep your word....Dont let him hang forever...its cruel and inhumane. its also obscenely  UNCONSTITUTIONAL and INDECENT!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[trixieloowho]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 7th 2008 1:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 1,000 Cell Phones Smuggled Into CA Prisons]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/02/1-000-cell-phones-smuggled-into-ca-prisons/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/02/1-000-cell-phones-smuggled-into-ca-prisons/</guid><description><![CDATA[it is very easy to jam cell phones. why doesnt the prison system do it? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[healnghanz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 14th 2007 12:19AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
