Hence: slippery slope.

This is a thorny problem. It's a massive setting of precedent to allow any jamming of electronic signal in the US at all. How long until theaters and then private homes jam certain frequencies?

On the other hand, prison's a pretty good place for a criminal boss to work from--three squares, you're relatively safe, you don't have to do anything to get along, and you can direct traffic outside via text messages.

On the other other hand, I wish it was easier for most inmates to be in contact with their families. I want that guy texting his daughter every night to be able to do that. It'll be better for him, and it'll be WAY better for his daughter.

I don't have a good answer for this.
