security challenges facing Mandoli Prison
Mandoli Prison in Delhi, India has recently become the focus of public opinion due to its challenges in dealing with the issue of prisoners using mobile phones. Although the prison management has obtained government approval and started installing 4G portable mobile phone jammers, the prison has not yet achieved full blocking of mobile phone signals, resulting in prisoners continuing to use mobile phones for illegal activities.
Deployment of 4G mobile phone jammers: prison security upgrades are slowly underway
Mandoli Prison currently holds more than 3,000 prisoners, most of whom are incarcerated for serious crimes. The prison management admitted that despite the approval, the actual deployment of jammers is still ongoing due to the time-consuming process of installing new technology and obtaining licenses. These cell phone jammers are planned to effectively prevent prisoners from using mobile phones in prisons, thereby reducing their contact with the outside world, thereby improving security and order inside the prisons.
Recently, cases of prisoners using unjammed mobile phones to carry out illegal activities were exposed in Mandoli Prison. These prisoners were not only communicating with the outside world, but also reportedly used their phones for extortion and threats, and even planned potential violent incidents. After the police intervened, they successfully arrested several prisoners, preventing a potential violent incident from happening, and also exposed the security loopholes in the prison management.
A senior official of the Ministry of Interior expressed concern about the incident and confirmed that the government has approved the installation of a new generation of 4G portable cell phone jammer devices. These devices are expected to completely block mobile phone signals in prisons in the short term, ensuring that prisoners can no longer use their phones for illegal activities. Despite this, the prison management is stepping up the deployment and installation process to meet the current challenges and improve the level of prison security management.
Police intervention and investigation: responding to prisoner mobile phone extortion incidents
For the cases found in prisons where prisoners manipulated mobile phones for extortion activities, the police have launched a detailed investigation and warned that stricter security measures will be taken in the future to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again. At the same time, prison officials also called on prison guards to strengthen security checks and monitoring to prevent the smuggling and illegal use of mobile phones.
With the deployment of new technologies and the support of the government, Mandori Prison hopes to achieve a complete ban on prisoners using mobile phones in the near future, thereby effectively improving security and order inside the prison and ensuring that public safety is effectively maintained.
