I would think it would require a faraday cage around the prison.
Or just tell the carriers not to accept connections coming from inside the prisons
It must be pretty easy to block communications in a prison? Presumably it's a bit of a game, they want the prisoners communicating so they can track it??

The content of the meeting was largely a dressing down from the US office. They had read UK Maxim recently and decided that there were too many anal related jokes and that the UK version of the magazine had to severely cut down on them upon pain of firing. As such the review for the ipod shuffle that was due for press had to be modified to "can fit between your cheeks".
I just find it hilarious that a couple of American executives had to make a transatlantic flight specifically for this purpose. :D

The best (if not most profitable) solution, IMHO, is to offer inmates a low cost to free, monitored telephone service that they can use to call people on a white-list. If they're found to be abusing it, it can be taken away, but it should be otherwise unlimited.
