"CTIA and the wireless industry appreciate Senator Feinstein's leadership and the Senate for their swift passage of the Cell Phone Contraband Act. Contraband cell phones should never be allowed in prisons and anyone who is caught with one or providing one to an inmate should be severely punished. We hope the President signs this important piece of legislation into law soon."
