END CELLS Act

The END CELLS Act, also known as Bill 118 s 3780, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to address the issue of cell phone use in prisons.

The bill aims to combat the use of cell phones by inmates in prisons, which has become a growing problem in recent years. The END CELLS Act proposes several measures to prevent inmates from accessing and using cell phones while incarcerated.

One of the key provisions of the bill is the implementation of technology to detect and block cell phone signals within prison facilities. This would prevent inmates from using cell phones to communicate with the outside world, coordinate criminal activities, or engage in other illicit behavior. Additionally, the END CELLS Act includes penalties for inmates found in possession of cell phones, as well as for individuals who attempt to smuggle cell phones into prisons. These penalties are intended to deter the use of cell phones by inmates and to hold individuals accountable for facilitating their access to these devices. Overall, the END CELLS Act seeks to improve safety and security within prisons by addressing the issue of cell phone use by inmates. By implementing measures to detect and block cell phone signals, as well as imposing penalties for possession and smuggling of cell phones, this bill aims to reduce the potential for criminal activity and maintain order within correctional facilities.
