The Ministry of Interior has begun testing methods to block internet, 5G, and satellite signals within prisons, aiming to curtail extortion activities originating from inmates. The initiative is already encountering significant obstacles, including outdated technology and systemic corruption. Legal loopholes also present a challenge to the plan’s full implementation. Authorities hope the signal blockage will disrupt criminal operations conducted from behind bars, but experts question its feasibility given the existing issues. Concerns have been raised about the cost-effectiveness of upgrading prison infrastructure to support the blocking technology. The success of the plan hinges on addressing both the technical shortcomings and the pervasive corruption within the prison system, alongside clarifying ambiguous legal frameworks.
