Reply to comment by [deleted] in Prison inmate accused of orchestrating $11M fraud using cell cellphone by Sorin61

> It’s so wrong when people get punished for making art.

The issue isn't the art, it is the possession of a cell phone and gang activities. Cell phones have been used by inmates in the past to orchestrate escapes, harass their victims from behind bars, order hits, intimidate guards, bribe witnesses, and even possess child pornography.

Unauthorized cell phones have no place in a prison.

You clearly haven’t read the article which I linked. The issue wasn’t even the phone but the fact that the prison thought they were a “gang” because they rapped together all the time.

Ok, explain to me how does illegal possession of a phone deserve a year in solitary confinement? You really consider that an appropriate punishment fit for the crime? You’re either a troll or a sociopath.

I think it deserves far more. Cell phones are a way to get around security and as I stated before, cell phones are dangerous for a variety of reasons. If you think cell phones DON'T deserve a serious punishment, then you are just ignorant on security.

Cringe

Imagine thinking that literal torture is appropriate response for a fucking phone.

And you still haven’t even opened the article. A shit ton of people have cell phones in prison, the cell phone itself is not the reason why they decided to go after this particular group.
