Prisoner definitely deserved that win, amazing. Nice try on the privacy tactic, hah!

His commissary is hooked up for a good while

I would starve as a criminal. I could never think of this shit. Dammit

Players gonna play

I mean, what’re you going to do? Arrest him more?

yeah, probably lmao

Prison hacking is a skill. There was some cons did credit card scam racket from using a computer literally built from junk electronics where they work hidden in the damn cell's ceiling.

Something like this was in the movie blackhat and I just thought "pffft from a cellphone? BS"

TiL

Oh the cell phone geddit

Seems like his co-conspirator did most of the heavy lifting and likely was the one with the knowledge required.

Most likely both pretty savvy, and the prisoner had nothing to do all day but plan their strategy.

not quite a smart phone... https://youtu.be/7xouEd5cVE8

And the plethora of people around to help them mastermind it. That’s all those guys are probably thinking about day and night. I guess they have to do something to pass the time.

Oh you've never been double arrested?

So whats holding you back from earning a million dollars, this guy made 11 million and he was in jail!

There was a story about South Carolina inmates who snuck a phone into their cell and recorded a bomb-ass hip hop track. They got a total of 20 years in solitary confinement for it. There was like 7 of them, so that’s 20 divided by 7 for each, but damn that fucking sucks. It’s so wrong when people get punished for making art.

Note: it didn’t actually affect the length of their sentence but part of their sentence was spent in solitary indeed because of this. They were just rapping together all the time so the prison considered them a “gang”.

Here is an interview with one of these guys who got released after his sentence:

That incredibly industrious.

Was it a multi-level marketing program?

You gotta smuggle that stuff up your ass though.

11m clicks became 11m dollars.

Good news guys, Terry just got that 3080 in from the remand block.

Solitary should not be a thing, it’s torture.

It definitely fits for the definition of “cruel and unusual punishment”.

This is literally adult Butters from South Park.

Have you ever heard of NFT’s

Might just be a clever scheme to be released without bail.

Did you read the article??

truly, an optimist making plans for his future.

takes a real man to get some 'things inside'.

i know a guy named Bill who became known as The Abyss when he got a whole football helmet inside the prison for someone's birthday.

his payment was huge. he got an entire tower oscillating fan for it.

he had to smuggle it in too.

Mans gonna feed the whole cell block.

A cell cellphone you say?

[deleted]

The politically correct term is “crowbar hotel cellphone”.

It should, but the SCOTUS doesn't even try to test for "cruel" and tests "unusual" entirely by "what proportion of states permit the punishment". Which of course has the entirely intended effect of letting a wide variety of needlessly cruel punishments stand.

How does one get a cellphone into prison in Butts County, Georgia?

It's better than the yard cellphone. That one has germs.

Man, a 3.5-slot ass?

Sarcasm… it’s what I do.

no way! How?

Only in America can you learn how to be a better criminal while in prison.

Guys has serious skills. He should join the good guys and make a fortune the legit way.

Unless it's your grandmother during a pandemic.

Nah most contraband is bought by guards that are paid to do it

That is he most logical way. I wonder what the largest item (by volume) was kiestered

So I’m on team prisoner here.

If you ever want to see something funny, look at the wikipedia page for cell phones in prison. You can tell inmates edit it

> 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.

> 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?

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.
