On Monday, at five in the morning, on the territory of IK-24, employees of the colony in the restricted area found four packages wrapped with tape, which contained nine cell phones and two SIM cards. Obviously, the prohibited items were thrown to the "inmates" from the outside over the fence. And yesterday, a resident of Asbest handed tea bags to a prisoner of the same colony, who went to prison for stealing a car by beating the driver, hiding the drug in them. And another fresh case: on March 29, a package for the accused of robbery arrived in the Nizhny Tagil pre-trial detention center. The package contained a bandage soaked in drugs.

Today, employees of the penitentiary service told the website what else people go to when they try to transfer prohibited items to prisoners and detainees.

Hiding in food class="_">

Most often, friends and relatives of convicts, trying to deliver drugs or phones to the zone, hide them. So, on March 6, a resident of Polevsky brought a transfer to a prisoner in a pre-trial detention center for robbery: five cans of canned food. The labels indicated that these were tomatoes, green peas and pineapples. But in reality, inside the cans were four mobile phones, three chargers, three USB wires, as well as nuts, bolts, wrenches and a hammer. Also in early March, they tried to pass two SIM cards in prunes to a drug dealer sitting in a pre-trial detention center.

And on November 13 last year, a bag of gingerbread was sent to a person convicted of causing death by negligence, eight of which turned out to be stuffed with SIM cards.

And, of course, not only communication equipment, a knife and illegal substances are hidden in food. So, on January 27, a resident of Tavda came for a long visit to her husband, who was punished under the “narcotic” article. Having seen her husband, the woman left him a bag of dates and smoke. When checking, it turned out that heroin was hidden in the filters of three cigarettes and three dates. And on January 24, a resident of Aramil sent a prisoner serving a sentence for theft and robbery a bag of green tea, the leaves of which turned out to be saturated with a drug.

Brazenly and wholesale - cylinders class="_">

The largest consignments of mobile phones are confiscated when trying to deliver them to colonies that are active in economic activity, where there are workshops and where cars with civilian drivers come from time to time.

Last year, an oxygen cylinder, necessary for gas welding, was delivered to the economic unit of the Tavdinsky strict regime colony No. 19. And on August 2, during the check, it turned out that the metal container was nothing more than a hiding place. 51 cell phones and six chargers were recovered from the cylinder.

The second, similar to this, incident occurred on December 25, at the checkpoint for vehicles IK-3 Krasnoturinsk. Colony officers, while inspecting the truck, found a fire extinguisher in which they tried to smuggle 22 mobile phones, 8 chargers, 5 batteries for mobile phones, 10 headsets for mobile phones, 3 SIM cards and 2 USB cables.

And on May 9 last year, in the same IK-3 in the spare wheel of MAZ, which was supposed to drive to the economic part of the zone, the employees of the GUFSIN found 34 mobile phones, 11 chargers, 5 batteries for mobile phones and 8 headsets.

Heels with a secret class="_">

Often, prohibited items are tried to be carried in shoes. At the beginning of December last year, his girlfriend came to IK-19 on a date with a convict for theft. Hidden in her blue shoes were 8 packages of marijuana.

And on July 3 last year, a convict convicted of drugs left the room where he had spent a long meeting, in boots, the heels of which were “stuffed” with nine SIM cards.

The double life of things class="_">

This conditional group includes various household items that are used as containers for transferring drugs and illegal means of communication to jail.

For example, in early March of this year, a teapot was sent to a thief in a pre-trial detention center. Yes, not simple. Inside this electrical appliance was a cache, and in it was a mobile phone and two SIM cards.

And the other day, on March 23, in Novolyalinskaya IK-54, a resident of Pervouralsk tried to give a shoe sponge to the convicted rapist. Having illuminated this seemingly innocent object on an X-ray machine, the employees of the GUFSIN discovered that three narrow bundles of drugs were hidden in it. And on March 19, a convict in IK-18 was given a piece of soap in a parcel, in which a mobile phone was disguised.

About the benefits of reading class="_">

In August last year, a resident of Krasnoturinsk sent a tattered volume of Jules Verne's "Children of Captain Grant" to a prisoner serving time for murder. There were 11 SIM cards hidden in the cover of the book.

Often prohibited items are simply thrown over the fence. As a rule, sticks are tied to mobile phones in order to make the throw stronger. But on June 29 last year, friends of the prisoners of IK-3 went for a more sophisticated method. They made a big slingshot and with it they tried to smuggle 11 mobile phones, two chargers, two batteries and one headset through the air.

They are constantly trying to bring prohibited items into the pre-trial detention center and the colony. But as such, there is no increase in such incidents. Most likely, because the number of convicts and those under investigation in our region is not growing, but, on the contrary, thanks to the amnesty, it is getting smaller, - said Alexander Levchenko, head of the press service of the GUFSIN of the Sverdlovsk Region. - In total, 31,000 people are awaiting trial or serving sentences in our region behind bars.

Over the past year, upon delivery to the correctional colony and pre-trial detention center of the region, employees of the penitentiary service seized 733 grams of drugs, 775 mobile phones and 112 thousand rubles.

Depending on the settings or applications you use, different phone numbers may be assigned to your Lenovo smartphone phone book. However, they may not be needed at all, but in the future they may come in handy. Therefore, you should not erase them, but simply make sure that they are not displayed.

Let's see how you can turn off the display of numbers that "sneaked" into the book from various applications. And remove the display of contacts of your SIM card.

To do this, you need to open an application called "contacts". While in it, press the "Menu" key of the smartphone and enter the context menu.

Then click "Filter". A list of numbers will be displayed with checkmarks next to them. Including near the SIM card.

Of course, each device will have different lists. For those numbers that are not currently in demand, the checkboxes should be removed. It remains to confirm the choice by pressing "OK" and they will no longer be displayed in the general list.

This, firstly, will avoid duplication of numbers in the phone book, and secondly, it will hide unnecessary numbers, making it easier to find the ones you need. To return the display of hidden numbers, you just need to return the checkmarks to their place.

How to make your mobile phone unspyable?

Editorial response

The only way to avoid being tracked on your phone is to not use it. As soon as the phone is connected to the network (mobile or fixed line), the network already determines its location.

Cellular network equipment registers not only the subscriber number, but also a number of other parameters, in particular, the IMEI code - a unique mobile equipment identifier that manufacturers assign to each device during manufacture.

This is usually a 15-bit number that is used to identify the device on the network and is stored in the firmware of the device. The IMEI code is also used to track phones, for example to block stolen phones - i.e. even changing the SIM card will not allow you to avoid tracking the telephone by its unique identifier.

In older devices, the IMEI code could be changed using special software, but now equipment manufacturers are constantly strengthening the protection that makes changing the IMEI code impossible.

The place where you are can be easily cleaned up by special services and mobile operators if they have access to information about the coordinates of base stations, or if the phone has a GPS receiver, the phone is turned on, and an active call to the subscriber is not required.

Is there any benefit to surveillance?

Thanks to tracking the location of a cellular subscriber, state security agencies can quickly find the wanted criminal.

Also, at the signal of a mobile phone, doctors or rescuers can find the victim. That is why it is important for mobile operators to use technologies that provide a sufficiently high accuracy in determining the location of the subscriber.

The tracking capability also allows families to be informed at any time about the whereabouts of a child or elderly relative. Many operators have such a service in their tariff plan.

How to find out where the subscriber of a mobile phone is located?

The cellular carriers the subscriber is using provide geolocation services, but generally the other subscriber must agree that their location information will be shared with someone else. Here are some of the services provided.

"Smeshariki" (Megaphone)

The Smeshariki tariff plan from Megafon provides the Beacon service. It is designed for children so that parents can always get information about the whereabouts of their child. The location is done by calculating the distance of the mobile phone from the antenna tower. The calculation accuracy is from several hundred meters to several tens of kilometers. However, there are restrictions on finding a location. It is allowed to search for no more than 5 mobile devices and with the consent of the subscriber.

"Mobile employees" (MTS)

The Mobile Employees service from MTS allows you to determine the location of employees and vehicles of the company. You can determine the location on a detailed electronic map (more than 300 cities of the Russian Federation), control the presence of employees inside or outside the specified geographical area and receive notifications about violations of zone control conditions, take into account the working hours of employees working outside the office.

"Child under supervision" (MTS)

The Supervised Child service allows parents to see the location of their child's phone on the screen of a smartphone or tablet. The mobile application "Where are the kids" is available for installation on smartphones and tablets based on Android 2.3 OS. The location function works even if the child has the simplest mobile phone.

How is a subscriber tracked?

Information is collected in several ways: when a cell phone establishes a connection with the operator's tower, when using Wi-Fi wireless Internet networks. The antenna towers analyze the signal sent by the mobile phone and then calculate which towers are closer to the mobile phone. The location of the mobile phone is estimated by comparing the signals sent by the mobile phone to the antenna tower.

Each base station broadcasts information about neighboring stations, indicating the frequencies on which they operate. The phone constantly measures the signal strength from each of the base stations and, if necessary, selects the one from which a clear signal is coming. Having the coordinates of the six base stations closest to the phone, you can accurately calculate the coordinates of the phone without any GPS. If there is no data on the location of the base stations, then it will not be possible to calculate the location of the phone.

Also, with the advent of the global positioning system (GPS), it became possible to determine the location of a person using satellites. Some mobile phones have built-in GPS navigators. The network includes a number of satellites that send out signals for analysis to determine the location of a mobile phone. If the system receives signals from three or more satellites, then the position is calculated quite accurately.

Is caller tracking legal?

The Constitution protects the right of citizens to privacy, but at the request of the special services, the mobile operator can provide information about the location of the subscriber for the purpose of conducting investigative measures.

Internet fraud

Recently, many Internet users are faced with the service of locating a person by his mobile phone number. The subscriber is asked to send an SMS message with a set of certain numbers to the specified number and receive an access code to the service for 10 rubles. If such an offer does not come from a mobile operator, but from third parties, then this is nothing more than a scam, the Ministry of the Interior warns.
