State AGs urge passage of legislation allowing for cell phone 'jamming' systems in prisons

(WKBN) - Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday has joined a bipartisan coalition of 26 state attorneys general calling on Congress to pass legislation allowing states to deploy cell phone "jamming" systems in prisons.

"Jamming" involves the interruption of cell phone signals, which would disable non-emergency calls.

The legislation -- H.R. 2350 and S. 1137 -- regards contraband phones and would not impact individuals' usage of landline phones at prisons, according to a news release from the Attorney General's Office.
