Georgia Department of Corrections Implements ORION NLJD to Detect and...



Cellular phones continue to be one of the most dangerous forms of prison contraband, allowing inmates to bypass internal security measures creating a security risk that can reach beyond prison walls. Correctional authorities have indicated that cellular phones have become more valuable inside a prison than drugs or other contraband, and are often referred to as the new prison cash because inmates can sell minutes or cellular phone use to other inmates.



To combat the contraband cell phone issue, the Georgia Department of Corrections recently implemented ORION Non-Linear Junction Detectors to detect and locate contraband cell phones. The ORION Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD) manufactured by REI in Algood Tennessee USA, detects electronic components allowing the user to detect and locate hidden electronic items (such as hidden cellular phones), even if the electronic item is turned off or not transmitting.



Feedback from the Georgia Department of Corrections has been very positive indicating that they have located multiple contraband cell phones as well as other electronic contraband using the ORION.



Tom Jones, General Manager of REI, responded by stating that "REI is very excited to be assisting the corrections market in addressing the security threats posed by contraband cellular phones. We are impressed with Georgia's strong commitment to provide safe correctional facilities."



The ORION is one of the leading technologies being used to combat contraband cellular phones inside correctional facilities. For additional information on the ORION NLJD for locating and detecting cell phones in prisons visit:
