(BOP) - On January 17, the Bureau of Prisons, in collaboration with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Federal Communications Commission, tested micro-jamming technology at the Federal Correctional Institution in Cumberland, Maryland. The test was conducted to determine if micro-jamming could prevent wireless communication by an inmate using a contraband device in the cell of a housing unit and thereby prevent criminal activity.
