It’s For You

Guards at Her Majesty’s Prison Bullington, outside Bicester, Oxfordshire, England, tracked a cell phone signal to a specific inmate’s cell, and searched it to find the contraband. Inmate Dylan Martin, 26, admitted he had a phone, but the guards wouldn’t find it where they were looking — it was in his butt, he said. The jailers didn’t quite buy Martin’s defense: he claimed the phone wasn’t his. The embedded phone book had numbers for friends and family stored on it, and Martin pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six more months in prison. (RC/Oxford Mail) ...At least his family now knows why it takes so long for him to answer the phone.
