Sanford urges FCC to allow prison cell phone jamming
Gov. Mark Sanford called on federal regulators to permit pilot jamming inside South Carolina prisons to curb illicit phone use by inmates. FCC officials cited 1934 law prohibitions on jamming by nonfederal entities, while Corrections Director Jon Ozmint noted 30 states supported the petition and a guard who survived a shooting linked to a smuggled phone urged action.
