Balancing security and inmates’ rights is tricky—this bill walks a fine line between both.

No phones in prison—period. Let’s cut the cord on criminals staying connected to crime.

Tougher penalties for contraband phones could protect staff, but might also escalate tensions behind bars.
right-leaning 05/13/2025
Phones behind bars are like back doors for criminal empires—close it tight and throw away the key.

More jail time for a phone? Maybe try fixing the system instead of punishing desperation.
right-leaning 05/13/2025
Two years extra? Good. If they want to break rules, the punishment has to break them down.

If phones are the enemy, then communication is the crime—how about reform, not restrictions?
moderate 05/13/2025
Increasing penalties sounds firm, but let’s hope the policy review actually leads to smarter solutions.
left-leaning 05/13/2025
Cracking down on prison phones won’t fix the system; it’s just locking up hope tighter.
