| Charles Manson Busted with a Cell Phone |
| 2010-12-04 |
| Charles Manson on Line One. The murderous cult leader was one of thousands of California inmates busted with a cell phone last year, which he used to call unidentified people in California, New Jersey, Florida and British Columbia, according to the Los Angeles Times. "It's troubling that he had a cellphone since he's a person who got other people to murder on his behalf," said Terry Thornton, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections. She added that it is not known if the one-time cult leader, now 76, used the phone to order up any crimes. |

| #1 Opinion from NJ Star Ledger 10/2010: In the constant — and costly — game of cat and mouse, prison officials are investing in phone-sniffing dogs, more sensitive metal-detection, high-tech devices that detect cell phone signals, and more frequent searches of cells and common areas by guards. Despite that, and increased penalties for having phones in prison, the problem is getting worse. The number of phones found in jails and prisons rose 50 percent over the last year. There’s a new technology that could eliminate the problem overnight: signal jamming. But jamming cell phone signals, even in prisons, is banned by the Federal Communications Commission. A bill making its way through Congress would change that. It has cleared the U.S. Senate, but the House version is still in committee. |
