The federal communications commission is moving forward with a plan to allow the jamming of cell phone signals in prisons. Some parties, including the us chamber of commerce and siriusxm, have expressed concerns about the potential impact of jamming on emergency alerts, while others, such as corrections leaders and a former prison guard, support the measure as a way to prevent organized crimes. The proposal is currently under federal review and may be implemented in prisons in states such as south carolina and georgia.
