In recent years, Brier Model Prison has frequently encountered management difficulties due to the illegal use of mobile phones by prisoners. To deal with this problem, the prison management decided to phase out outdated 2G signal jammers and install more advanced portable devices to improve signal blocking capabilities. This move is not only to block prisoners' illegal communications, but also to meet the ever-increasing technical challenges of new smartphones.cell phone jammer

Outdated 2G jammers can't block smartphones

　　The existing jamming system in Brier Prison can only block 2G signals, while the smartphones used by prisoners generally support 4G and 5G networks, making the old devices almost ineffective in preventing illegal communications.

　　Prison Governor Deepak Purohit said that the prison authorities are drafting a proposal to introduce more advanced portable jammers specifically for the communication signals of modern smartphones. Unlike the large jammers previously proposed by India Electronics Limited (BEL), portable jammers can cover specific areas more accurately, do not interfere with external communications, and provide more flexible options for prison management.

Strengthen signal blocking in barracks to curb illegal activities

　　According to the latest proposal, Brier Prison will prioritize the deployment of portable jammers in areas where prisoners are active to ensure that internal communications are fully controlled. Portable devices have strong signal blocking capabilities and can effectively block prisoners from using instant messaging tools such as WhatsApp for illegal operations.

　　In recent years, prisoners have been found repeatedly in prisons to contact the outside world through mobile phones, and even prison guards and hospital staff have participated in assistance. In 2022 alone, several prisoners were found to be using illegal devices, including cases of gang operations using hidden mobile phones. This problem not only poses a huge challenge to prison management, but also arouses widespread social concern about prison safety.

Multiple measures to combat illegal communications of prisoners

　　The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs has clearly stipulated in 2020 that in the Chandigarh area, prisoners carrying mobile phones and their accessories will be considered a criminal offense. However, surprise inspections in Brier Prison have repeatedly found mobile phones and related devices. The prison administration believes that relying solely on outdated 2G jammers is no longer sufficient to cope with the challenges of ever-changing technology, so it is urgent to introduce new jamming equipment.

　　In addition, the prison plans to strengthen internal management and severely punish staff suspected of assisting prisoners in communications. The implementation of these measures is aimed at completely cutting off prisoners' illegal communication channels, thereby improving the overall security and management level of the prison.

Portable jammers provide new ideas for future prison management

　　The portable jammer upgrade plan of Brier Prison will provide new ideas for the modern management of the Indian prison system. This is not only an urgent need to deal with illegal communications, but also lays the foundation for the construction of future intelligent prisons. If this project is successful, it will provide a solution that can be used as a reference for prisons in other parts of India and promote prison management reforms across the country.

　　Through the introduction of portable jammers, Brier Prison hopes to completely solve the communication problems that have long plagued management and make positive contributions to building a safer prison environment.
