Johannesburg – As a motion to probe the jamming of cellphone signal during the 2015 State of the Nation address has been tabled at Parliament, the correctional services department plans to use a similar device in its prisons, according to a report.
Justice and Correctional Services Minister Michael Masutha announced on Thursday that his department was looking into using signal jammers to stop inmates from illegally using cellphones from inside prison walls, Eyewitness News reported.
This is in response to the DA’s questions about curbing cellphone usage in prisons, the report said.
