 How dangerous can a cell phone be behind bars? In Ohio’s correctional facilities, unauthorized phones are treated as major contraband because they can be used to coordinate criminal activity, intimidate victims, and bypass monitored communication systems. Through strict searches, staff training, advanced detection technology, and strong legal penalties, Ohio works to keep illicit electronic communication out of its jails and prisons.
