Cellphones...in prisons?

Cellphones are banned in prisons and are, even though not allowed, very useful to prisoners. A cellphone might not be much, but smartphones have changed the game. Most prisoners have a Facebook, and play games like "FarmVille". Gang violence and drug movement are increasingly being followed online, allowing inmates to keep up criminal behavior even as they serve time.

It is a nice way to spend your three-year-sentence, huh?
