According to the Monterey Herald, cell phones in Mexico prisons are quickly becoming a real problem. Mexico’s top cell provider Telcel, has a real problem with this and is not going to take it standing still.
The ever-ringing cellphone is not just an annoyance in restaurants, theaters and churches in this nation where there are more mobile phones than regular ones. It’s also causing havoc in the Mexican capital’s prisons. Smaller and smaller Nokias, Motorolas and Sony Ericssons are circulating in the big house, along with drugs and weapons that slip by overwhelmed or corrupt prison guards. Homesick inmates aren’t just calling home. They are coordinating armed robberies, drug deals and kidnappings, authorities say. This comes when recent abductions at two shopping malls, a government building and a grammar school have Mexico in panic mode.
