New South Wales prisons strengthen measures to combat illegal mobile phones

  In response to the increasing illegal mobile phone use in prisons, New South Wales (NSW) has launched new body scanning technology and signal jammer blockers from today to strengthen prison management security measures. The upgrade involves portable body scanners and signal jammer devices installed in high-security prisons, aiming to cut off prisoners' illegal communication channels with the outside world.

 
Measure 1: Body scanners to prevent prisoners from smuggling micro mobile phones. The New South Wales Department of Corrections has trialed portable body scanners in Silverwater Prison and successfully seized two micro mobile phones from prisoners. Corrections Minister David Elliott pointed out that with the advancement of technology, mobile phones can now be as small as a coin, which is very easy to hide in the body of prisoners or visitors. To this end, portable scanners have become an efficient detection tool, and their indicator lights can quickly show whether a mobile phone is detected, which improves the efficiency of the search.
This technology not only improves the security of prisons, but also effectively reduces the safety risks caused by manual searches. The government plans to extend this technology to all high-security and medium-security prisons by the end of the year to more effectively prevent prisoners from smuggling mobile phones through visitors.
Measure 2: Signal jammer devices to completely cut off illegal communications. In order to further block illegal mobile phone signals, the New South Wales government installed signal blocker jammers in Lithgow and Goulburn prisons. This is the first time that jamming technology has been deployed on a large scale in prisons in Australia. Correctional Services Director Peter Severin said this move is a key measure to solve the problem of illegal communications in prisons. Even if prisoners manage to bring mobile phones into prisons, signal jammer devices can make these devices useless and ensure that information in prisons is not leaked.
The activation of this jamming device originated from a case in Lithgow Prison in 2008. At the time, Bassam Hamzy, the founder of the famous criminal gang "Brotherhood for Life", used mobile phones to direct external criminal activities, making more than 400 calls a day and even passing mobile phones between cells through dental floss. In addition, several similar cases were discovered in Goulburn Prison in 2009, further highlighting the need for jamming devices.

Challenges behind the policy: staff shortages and system overload

  Despite the introduction of advanced technology and equipment, prison management in New South Wales still faces the dilemma of understaffing. State opposition MP Guy Zangari welcomed the move, but stressed that the government needs to solve a more fundamental problem - insufficient staffing in prisons. He pointed out that although body scanners and signal jammer devices can play a certain deterrent and preventive role, there are not enough prison guards to carry out daily supervision, and smuggling cannot be completely eliminated.

  Zangari criticized the government's budget constraints, which have led to overcrowding and insufficient police force in the prison system. He believes that if the government cannot increase the number of prison guards, no amount of technical means can effectively maintain prison security.

Future Outlook: Balance between Technology and Management

  The deployment of body scanners and signal jammer blockers in prisons by the New South Wales government is an important step in combating illegal mobile phone use in prisons. However, how to balance the investment in technical means and human resources will be a key issue that the government needs to solve in the future. Although these new measures are expected to improve prison security in the short term, in the long run, only by increasing police force and optimizing the prison management system can the safety and stable operation of prisons be truly ensured.

  With the promotion of new technologies, New South Wales plans to continue to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of these devices and gradually adjust policies to meet the changing security challenges. This series of measures not only reflects the government's attention to security issues, but also provides a useful reference for prison management in other regions.
