Inmates at Norwegian prisons have found a new way to plot their escapes and
use the new invention of cell phones with built in cameras. Several escape
plans where MMS phones were used have been uncovered, according to Sigbjørn
Hagen, prison director at Ringerike prison.
«They can send pictures of the locations of buildings and security
equipment,» Hagen explained to the Norwegian television channel NRK.
The inmates often hide the cell phones on their bodies making them be very
hard to find.
Norwegian prisons are not allowed to block the signals.
