Corrections Policy Advocacy
Illicit wireless devices in correctional facilities can be used to direct violence, trafficking, and victim harassment. Addressing the problem requires a lawful, practical approach that accounts for facility operations and communications networks.
The Advocacy
The Parzival Group supported advocacy that brought corrections leaders’ experience to federal policymakers and the FCC as the agency considered a path for limited use of jamming technology in correctional settings.
Policy Outcome
The FCC opened a rulemaking record on a proposed framework for non-federal jamming solutions in correctional facilities — a significant step toward evaluating an additional tool for facilities confronting contraband-device threats.
