Georgia prisons leave 1,800 men supervised by just 1-3 officers on nights and weekends. When Zeary Davis was stabbed, a contraband phone saved his life—officers took 15 minutes to respond. Now the FCC wants to jam these lifelines. https://gps.press/why-families-mus...

The FCC is considering allowing Georgia prisons to jam cell phones—the same phones that have repeatedly saved lives when officers are nowhere to be found. At Dooly State Prison, a contraband phone call alerted administrators that a stabbed prisoner would die without help. Officers took 15 minutes to respond.
With Georgia prisons often supervised by just 1-3 officers for over 1,500 men during nights and weekends, these phones aren't just contraband—they're survival tools. Should families lose this lifeline when the state refuses to provide basic safety? https://gps.press/why-families-must-fight-fcc-prison-jammers-now/

Georgia prisons routinely leave 1,500-1,800 men supervised by only 1-3 officers during nights and weekends. When emergencies happen, contraband phones have become the difference between life and death. At Dooly State Prison, a prisoner's phone call saved Zeary Davis after he was stabbed—officers didn't arrive for 15 minutes. Now the FCC wants to jam these lifelines, potentially blocking emergency calls and disrupting medical equipment prisoners need to survive.

The FCC is reviewing a proposal to allow state prisons to deploy cell phone jamming technology. For Georgia's prison system—where DOJ findings confirm dangerous understaffing leaves entire facilities supervised by 1-3 officers during off-hours—this policy could prove deadly.
Contrary to official narratives, contraband phones have documented utility in emergency situations. At Dooly State Prison, such a device enabled prisoners to alert administrators to a life-threatening stabbing when no officers were present. The policy question isn't whether communication should exist, but whether it should be managed transparently rather than eliminated entirely through jamming technology that risks disrupting legitimate emergency services and medical equipment. https://gps.press/why-families-must-fight-fcc-prison-jammers-now/
