As an ex inmate from 2008-2011. I can confirm this is a thing. Not quite sure about the phone model though, never asked. You catch an additional escape charge and possession of an unauthorized tool added to what ever your already in for if you get caught with them. Typically only shot callers had them. Also to add, two of the maximum security facilities I stayed at, never used any fancy devices for finding things.

Prisoners are still people and people don't always resort to crime because they want to. It could be lack of choice. I had a friend who a few of his family members were known for crime. Because of this he struggle to find employment cos they associated him with them even thou he didn't even live with them but shared the last name. He managed to find a path being self employed working on motorbikes but an example of how people could end up choosing a different path.

I was so comfortable with T9 texting for this reason, but I never held out hope! I use an android phone with the Google default keyboard, which supports swipe typing. I've had so much practice now that I can legitimately type without looking at my screen simply by swiping through all of the letters. The only downside is that every few weeks it's ability to figure out words seems to tank since *it's claimed* that it uses some machine learning to help assist people with slightly different swipe styles.

Any old cellphone can make emergency calls even if it's not activated. It's the law. You could also buy any pre-paid phone, burner phone, etc, with no account and still make emergency calls.

@VenomousIntentions Год назад

We never saw any of these when I worked as a Transportation Sergeant for a prison work-release program, but we would have inmates try to smuggle in phones and stuff in the dumbest possible ways. Most of them are not smart. We had an individual walk off his job site at a restaurant and go into Walmart, buy a bag of grapes and a prepaid cell phone, but somehow forgot to throw away the receipt. Claimed a coworker went and got him grapes. Found the receipt in the van during shakedown, noticed it had TWO cell phones on it. Found both of them stashed in the interior back seat panels. Some are smart, however. One of our construction inmates had one of those big styrofoam insulated thermos water jug things, hollowed out some of the insulation and had a phone neatly nestled into it. Prison makes you innovative lol

@mikem6608 Год назад

I would guess that, if smuggled phones were going to be detected, it wouldn't be with an EMF meter. It would be with a cell site simulator or similar system that detects cellular devices specifically. If it can ring, then it's connecting to the network and could also connect to a cell site simulator. Not to mention the obvious solution of turning it off before inserting it into your... cavity.

@fauzirahman3285 2 года назад

The voice changing features are useful, but rather.. suspicious. I would imagine if they were to transport it, it would be best to do with the battery off, so that it doesn't ring unexpectedly and will also extend the battery life by a lot.

@MrMattumbo 2 года назад

Personal phones in prison are for privacy, if you’re spending big bucks for one it’s because you have serious and very illegal business to conduct on the outside and can’t use the prison phones which are monitored. So while the voice changer is kind of niche, it could be useful for someone who is worried about their associates being wire tapped and then being recognized. The other option is it’s for someone truly messed up who wants to make threatening phone calls against people or entities they may hold a grudge against. You can imagine the things someone like Manson or another deranged psycho would use such a feature for.

It was my second Nokia, so I was very familiar with Nokia Designs. The 6150 measured 129 x 47 x 28 mm (just looked it up) which is somewhat close to the 101.5 x 44.5 x 17.4 mm of the Nokia 8210. No, I clearly remember this tiny Cellphone was about half the width and length of my Nokia with Pinpoint small keys that seemed to be almost unusable with fingers. If I had to guess I'd say it measured 70 x 30 x 25 mm. Design language boring like the Zanko T1 shown here. I tried to find it in google, but there's nothing that rings my memory.
