FCC to vote on allowing prisons to jam cellphone signals

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr announced that the agency will vote on November 19th on new rules permitting prisons to use cellphone signal jamming. Currently, radiofrequency jammers are generally banned under Section 333 of the Communications Act of 1934, with limited exceptions. Carr noted that such jammers have already been allowed in some federal facilities.
