prisons need to be upgraded to a faraday cage to block all communications devices, except staff prison radios that only work within the instution.

due to the high costs of keeping prisoners locked up, non violent offenders should be on monitored work release. wearing a ankle bracelet for easy tracking

and all prisoners should have to work, paid 10 cents a hour, manufacturing dollar store stuff

prisoners who are locked up, need high tech monitoring.

every time the bell rings stand here, identity check and push these buttons to confirm who you are

Why block the cellphone calls from smuggled phones? Intercept the calls and use the information against the criminals on both the inside and outside the prison. The tech has been around for years. Law enforcement has fake cell sites they setup in high crime areas or a specially targeted area to intercept all cellphone traffic. Most people have no idea what kind of surveillance tech is out there in the world. Lawyers may complain but tell them they can use a group of unmonitored land lines setup at the prison specifically for their use.

Use high tech collars to control prisoners. A combination of the "Invisible Fence" tech used to control pets, GPS locator, WiFi monitoring and a shaped explosive charge ringing the inside the collar would do the trick. Two fences, one to keep people out, the other to keep prisoners in. An area between the fences is no man's land. If a prisoner gets close to the interior fence, the collar beeps, if he touches the fence, he gets zapped by the collar. If the prisoner manages to get through or over the interior fence and into no man's land, the tiny shaped charge ringing the inside his collar explodes, neatly decapitating him. O_o

There would be no prison riots because the collars would zap a whole group at the touch of a button. A wireless recharging system for the collars would keep them working. If a convict ignored the low battery warning beep for long enough, the remaining power would be used to set off the shaped charge.. Of course the collars would wirelessly notify corrections staff of any problems. You must be a real ******* to control a real *******. I have draconian ideas on how to control Islamofascist prisoners too. Terrorize the terrorists. ^_^
