00:05General Secretary of the Prison Officers Association, Lester Logie, stressed the problem remains a serious one.
00:12He notes that even with the installation of strong jammers, these criminal actors simply fly drones at higher altitudes to bypass the system.

00:27They had some grabbers and jammers where they said it created a kind of geo-fence, but that hasn't worked.
00:33They just fly the drones higher so that it's out of range for that geo-fence.
