In recent years, there have been frequent incidents of prisoners smuggling mobile phones and drugs in Ludhiana Central Jail, which has aroused widespread concern from the government and society. In order to address this problem, an expert committee consisting of district judges, session judges, police chiefs, additional deputy commissioners (ADCs) and jail directors proposed to install mobile phone signal jammer s in jails to curb the use of illegal mobile phones. This article will explore in detail the reasons behind this proposal, the urgency of implementation and the challenges that may be faced in the future.cell phone jammer

　　1. Mobile phone smuggling: a serious problem in Ludhiana Central Jail

　　Mobile phone smuggling has become the norm in Ludhiana Central Jail. Data shows that more than 1,000 mobile phones were seized in the prison in 2023, and some prisoners even used these mobile phones for illegal activities, including manipulating external crimes, extortion and drug dealing.

　　2. Proposal to install jammers: a key step to improve prison security

　　In order to deal with the growing problem of mobile phone smuggling, the expert group recommends installing mobile phone signal jammers in prisons.drone jammer According to prison director Shivraj Singh Nandgarh, these jammers will prevent prisoners from obtaining mobile phone signals through illegal means, thereby significantly reducing illegal communication activities inside the prison. The function of the jammer is to cut off the connection between the mobile phone and the external network, making it impossible to make calls or send messages, thereby effectively eliminating the possibility of prisoners manipulating external crimes through mobile phones.

　　3. Practical application of jammers: challenges and countermeasures

　　Although the installation of jammers seems to be an effective means to solve the problem, its implementation also faces many challenges. First, the signal coverage of the jammer needs to be precisely adjusted to avoid interfering with legal communications outside the prison. Second, prisoners may take more covert means, such as using encrypted communication software or special equipment to bypass the jammer. In addition, the maintenance and operation costs of jammers are high, which may put additional pressure on the fiscal budget. Therefore, when installing jammers, other measures need to be supplemented, such as strengthening prison patrols and searches.

　　4. Supporting measures: increase CCTV and strengthen monitoring

　　In addition to installing jammers, the expert group also recommended increasing the number of closed-circuit televisions (CCTV) in prisons. Prison director Nandgarh pointed out that adding surveillance cameras will help monitor prisoners' activities in real time and detect abnormal behavior in a timely manner. At the same time, through video surveillance, improper transactions between prison guards and prisoners can be effectively prevented. The upgrade of the monitoring system will become a powerful supplement to the jammer and jointly improve the overall security level of the prison.
