I. Closure and management requirements of prisons
Prisons, as penal enforcement organs, have strict closure and management requirements. In order to ensure security and order in prisons, prisons have strict regulations and restrictions on the daily activities and behavior of sentenced persons.
Second, the prohibited use of cell phones
In prisons, cell phones are one of the items that are explicitly prohibited. This is because cell phones have the function of communication and Internet access, if they are privately carried and used by the inmates, it may lead to a series of problems such as the leakage of information, illegal contact with the outside world, and even the organization of criminal activities. Therefore, the prison administration will strictly prohibit the carrying and use of cell phones by inmates, and will strictly supervise and inspect this.
Third, the exception of special circumstances
While in general the use of cell phones is not allowed in prison, there are some exceptions. For example, in some specific educational, labor or medical activities, prisons may allow sentenced persons to use specific communication equipment, but these devices are usually managed and controlled by the prison administration, sentenced persons can not privately carry and use.
In summary:
Cell phones cannot be used while in prison. Prisons, as penal execution organs, have strict closure and management requirements, and cell phones, as items with communication and Internet access functions, are explicitly prohibited in prisons. Although there are some exceptions for special cases, these exceptions are usually managed and controlled by the prison administration in a unified manner.
