内容总结：

美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）宣布，将于下月就一项新规进行投票，拟允许州立监狱和地方看守所使用手机信号干扰设备，以阻断囚犯非法使用手机。该机构计划在11月19日的公开会议上审议这一提案，允许州和地方监禁设施自愿选择是否使用干扰技术，而非强制要求。根据现行规定，非联邦机构使用任何干扰通信信号的设备均属违法。2018年，美国联邦监狱局曾在联邦监狱中测试“微型干扰”技术，以阻止囚犯未经授权使用手机。此次新规若获通过，将有望为州和地方层面启用类似手段打开通道，同时也为联邦设施正式干扰信号提供合法途径。这一举措标志着FCC政策方向的转变。此前，该机构长期反对将干扰器作为减少监狱非法手机使用的手段，担忧相关技术可能干扰紧急和公共安全通信，且更多干扰工具流入社会后可能被不法分子利用，带来新的安全风险。FCC在公告中表示，若新规获得通过，监禁设施须满足一定标准，包括证明“干扰方案不会在指定地理区域之外造成有害干扰”。这并非本届政府任内FCC首次调整监狱相关政策。2025年7月，该机构曾表示将推迟实施监狱通话费率上限。

FCC主席希望允许监狱干扰非法手机信号

该机构将于下月就放宽其长期以来对干扰器的反对立场进行投票。

美国联邦通信委员会今日宣布，将就一项新规进行投票，该规则将允许州立监狱和地方看守所使用手机信号干扰器。此举的目的是阻止囚犯使用非法手机，因为与外界联系可能使他们继续从事犯罪活动。

该机构将于11月19日公开会议上进行计划中的投票，审议是否允许州立和地方监禁设施选择使用干扰器；使用该技术并非强制要求。任何干扰通信信号的技术对非联邦主体而言均属违法。2018年，联邦监狱局开始在联邦监狱测试“微型干扰”技术，以阻止囚犯未经授权使用手机。此举有望在州和地方层面开辟类似工具的渠道，并为联邦设施干扰信号提供正式途径。

这标志着对以往政策的逆转——此前FCC不允许将干扰器作为减少监狱非法手机使用的手段。此前对干扰器的担忧在于，该技术可能干扰紧急通信和公共安全通信，并且更多干扰工具流入社会后可能被不法分子利用，从而带来新的安全风险。今日的公告指出，如果新规获得通过，惩教设施需要满足一定标准，包括证明“干扰方案不会在指定地理区域之外造成有害干扰”。

今日的举措并非FCC在当前政府领导下首次改变对监狱问题的处理方式。2025年7月，该部门表示将推迟实施监狱电话费率上限。

FCC chair wants to let prisons jam illegal cellphones
The agency will vote next month on relaxing its long-standing opposition to jammers.
The US Federal Communications Commission announced today that it will vote on a new rule that would allow state prisons and jails to use cellphone jammers. The goal of the change would be to block use of illegal cellphones by inmates, since having outside contact could allow them to continue engaging in criminal activity.
The planned vote during the agency's open meeting on November 19 would consider allowing state and local incarceration facilities to opt in to using jammers; use of the tech would not be required. Any tech that interferes with communications signals is illegal for non-federal parties to use. In 2018, the Federal Bureau of Prisons began testing "micro-jamming" in federal prisons as a way to block unauthorized cellphone use by inmates. This move would potentially open up similar tools at the state and local levels, and provide a formal pathway for federal facilities to jam signals as well.
It's a reversal from previous policies where the FCC has not allowed implementing jammers as a method of reducing illegal cellphone use in prisons. Previous concerns about jammers suggested the tech could interfere with emergency and public safety communications, as well as creating new security risks by putting more jamming tools into the wild where they could be exploited by bad actors. The bulletin today notes that if the new rules are adopted, correctional facilities would need to meet some standards, including proving "that the jamming solution does not cause harmful interference outside of the designated geographic areas."
Today's move isn't the first time the FCC has changed its approach toward prisons under the current administration. In July 2025, the department said it would delay implementing a cap on the rates charged for prison phone calls.
