Convicts Still Calling From Texas Prisons

According to NBC, one year after Texas prison operators promised to get mobile phones out of the hands of inmates, records show mobile phones are still getting into convicts hands.

A state report shows that authorities confiscated 995 cell phones between January and August, a rate that will top last year's 1,226 seizures if it continues, according to the Austin-American Statesman.

During the statewide lockdown a year ago, 22 cell phones were found on death row. During the latest search, none turned up, officials said.
