Consideration has been given to utilizing cell phone jammers inside of prison partitions to render them ineffective. Once inside prison walls, the devices end up in the palms of inmates who purchase them with money, which is also contraband in most prisons. In South Carolina in September 2012, blackpass an inmate utilizing a contraband cell phone alerted authorities about an officer being held hostage, resulting in that officer's rescue.
Federal prosecutors charged five South Carolina prisoners with conning at the very least 442 service members out of a complete of greater than half one million dollars in November 2018. Two other South Carolina prisoners, John William Dobbins and Carl Richard Smith await trial for a number of scams operated using contraband cell telephones out of Lee Correctional Institution, including one catfishing rip-off that ended in the suicide of military veteran Jared Johns.
