CTIA, Corrections Officials Say They're Committed to Addressing Contraband Cellphones

Carriers and prison officials met Monday on contraband cellphones, as expected (see 1804270062). “ASCA and CTIA are committed to protecting the public from the dangers posed by contraband cellphones in the hands of prison inmates,” CTIA and the Association of State Correctional Administrators said jointly. “We welcome the FCC’s continued focus on this problem and today’s task force meeting marked the beginning of an important partnership. It’s clear there’s no easy answer, but ASCA and CTIA launched an initiative today to begin to identify and test solutions in the coming months for stamping out the use of contraband cellphones.”
