davieG Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - Four prisoners in an El Salvador jail hid cellphones, a phone charger and spare chips in their bowels so they could coordinate crimes from their cells, prison officials said on Wednesday. The four men, all gang members, wrapped their phones and accessories in plastic and inserted them into their rectums "far enough to reach their intestines," Ramon Arevalo, director of the maximum security Zacatecoluca prison, said. Arevalo said the ruse was discovered during X-ray examinations following six weeks of investigations. The men, members of the ultra-violent Mara Salvatrucha street gang and the first in El Salvador known to go to such lengths to make phone calls in jail, used the cellphones to manage robberies, blackmail and murders outside, Arevalo said. The Zacatecoluca prison -- some 40 miles (64 km) east of the capital San Salvador and currently home to 337 inmates -- goes by the nickname "Zacatraz," after the famously secure U.S. island penitentiary Alcatraz.
lcfc_jme Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 Working in the same principal as drug smuggling then one can assume? Similar things happen in Mexican and Brazilian prisons, so no matter whether the gang leaders or violent/main members are locked away, organised crime is still at large. Quite intelligent when you think about it, but it must be extremely painful for the perpetrators!

Quite intelligent when you think about it, but it must be extremely painful for the perpetrators! It was a bit cheeky of them and apparently didn't work that well as some of the phones were shit.
lcfc_jme Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 That's definitely a nice play on words davie. May I also suggest to you that another reason that it didn't work was that the signal they were getting inside was crap
Daggers Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 You're both wrong - the reason they never worked afterwards because the whole insertion process rectum Where's my coat?
The Don Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 The phone's were checked for explosives after removal - they feared he might have been a suicide bumber. Thats worse
Daggers Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 Taxi for DB!!! I was just being cheeky. Cheeky...see what I did there? It's not easy being me!
davieG Posted 7 September 2006 Author Posted 7 September 2006 I was just being cheeky. Cheeky...see what I did there? It's not easy being me! That's been done as well , that hole you're digging will only get you in the shit.
Daggers Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 That's been done as well , that hole you're digging will only get you in the shit. Bunch of arse! Twice in one day! :pinch: It was the ring tone that gave them away ~ better?

Either they have unbelievably small mobile phones (plus accessories) or... the size of their recta is huge!!!

Northants Fox Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 Did they get a thrill when the Phones rang i wonder
lcfc_jme Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 Wonder if they wrote letters or used the regular prison phone asking outsiders to text them or ring them at regular intervals??

I'm not sure whether to be impressed, amused or concerned that you know/researched this!
cisono Posted 7 September 2006 Posted 7 September 2006 Did they get a thrill when the Phones rang i wonder Vibrations ... This reminds me of an old story involving Richard Gere. At some point, he was apparently taken to A&E because something got stuck up there. The procedure involved a little mouse who was the one supposed to provide the vibration. I didn't quite get all the details, but you can imagine the rest
