Huh?

Charles Manson had a mobile phone? From this source:
The murderous cult leader was one of thousands of California inmates busted with a cell phone last year, which he used to call unidentified people in California, New Jersey, Florida and British Columbia...

Cell phones are banned form federal prisons, but the rules are murkier in state institutions, especially California, where overcrowding makes it impractical to punish phone possessors with more time.

Guards found 1,400 cell phones in prison in 2007, according to the Times. The number jumped to 6,995 in 2009 and is now at 8,675 this year. Prisoners simply get a reprimand and have the phone confiscated....
Do jihadists behind bars also have mobile phones? Wouldn't surprise me in the least. They're also likely protected from unreasonable search and seizure, too. Meh.
