characteristics are most likely to affect 

costs? What are the ancillary costs for 

each type of approach (e.g., maintaining 

network connectivity for managed 

access systems, resources required to 

physically locate the phone for 

detection/location systems such as 

canines, staff time, etc.)? Are there 

typical costs or a range for each, and if 

so, what are they? Is training required 

for prison staff to properly operate the 

equipment? What staff costs are 

associated with each technology? 

6. Locating Contraband Phones 

In order to completely eradicate 

contraband cell phone use, the cell 

phone must be physically located and 

removed, which can be labor-intensive. 

Inmates may use them for a short period 

of time and turn them off and then move 

them, making the devices more difficult 

to locate. Jamming cannot identify the 

specific location of a contraband cell 

phone. How do managed access and 

detection technologies locate a cell 

phone caller? What software and 

hardware is needed? How accurate are 

detection technologies? With the 

insertion of GPS chip-sets into mobile 

devices, are cell phone locations easily 

identifiable through managed access or 

are other means necessary (e.g., 

hardware or software)? Do managed 

access and detection technologies have 

the capability of providing intelligencegathering information for prison 

officials, and if so, what type of 

information? What other means are 

necessary to physically locate the 

phones once a position is known? 

7. Regulatory/Legal Issues 

The Communications Act of 1934 

established the FCC and set specific 

rules on wireless radio services.30 Both 

the operation of mobile wireless 

devices, and effective means and 

solutions to deny the use of them have 

regulatory and legal implications. The 

FCC has primary responsibility for 

regulating spectrum issues for the types 

of systems typically used within the 

State and local prisons and jails (for 

example, private internal radio 

communications and commercial 

systems used by prison staff). NTIA, on 

behalf of the President, authorizes the 

use of the radio frequencies for 

equipment operated by Federal entities, 

including the BOP.31

While the Communications Act 

prevents the FCC from authorizing 

jamming or other acts of intentional 

interference to the radio 

communications of authorized stations, 

those same provisions do not apply to 

the Federal government itself. 

Therefore, NTIA is not limited in its 

authority to permit jamming at Federal 

prison facilities. We seek comment on 

State/local or Federal laws, rules, or 

policies that need clarification or that 

may hinder deployment of any of these 

technologies or others that may be 

raised by commenters. These might 

include not only radio regulatory issues, 

such as the approval necessary to 

operate or conduct experimentation and 

demonstration, but also ancillary issues 

such as the privacy and legal 

implications of trap-and-trace 

technologies? What agreements, agency 

relationships, or licensing requirements 

between the prison, service provider, 

and access provider would be required 

for temporary or experimental 

demonstration or for permanent 

operation? 

8. Technical Issues 

The identification of technical issues 

is another factor in investigating and 

evaluating contraband cell phone use in 

prisons. Are there any technical issues 

to be considered for the technologies 

identified above? For example, the 

actual range of a jammer depends on its 

power, antenna orientation, and the 

local environment (size and shape), 

which may include hills or walls of a 

building (that could be made of a variety 

of materials) that block the jamming 

signal. How accurate are the location 

technologies? Does each site need 

specific RF engineering for each of the 

approaches? How do the technologies 

allow authorized users, including 911 

calls, to be protected? How are different 

modulation schemes or channel access 

methods (for example, Global System 

for Mobile Communications—GSM, or 

Code Division Multiple Access—CDMA) 

handled for each category and does the 

solutions depend on the type of access 

method that the wireless carrier is 

using? 

Text-messaging continues to increase 

as a form of communication from handheld wireless devices.32 Wireless handheld devices in the possession of prison 

inmates afford them this option as an 

alternative to talking. Is there a need to 

differentiate between voice and data, 

such as text messages, and are the 

technologies discussed above effective 

against data use by prison inmates? 

Does shorter air-time use from text 

messaging present problems with 

detection and/or capturing the call and 

ultimately locating the phone? Will the 

technologies identified above be 

effective against high-speed, highcapacity data formats, such as Long 

Term Evolution (LTE) for devices that 

are expected to operate in the 700 MHz 

band?
