Rep. David Kustoff, representing Tennessee's 8th district since 2017, has taken to social media to discuss recent legislative efforts. On March 26, 2025, Kustoff addressed the issue of inmate access to cellphones, highlighting a bipartisan effort with Sen. Tom Cotton.
"When criminals go to jail, they should no longer be calling the shots." On March 26, 2025, Rep. Kustoff announced the introduction of the Cellphone Jamming Reform Act alongside Sen. Tom Cotton. He emphasizes the legislation as a necessary measure to prevent inmates from using contraband devices.
Further elaborating on the rationale, Kustoff stated, "It’s common sense. When you go to prison, your days of calling the shots are over." Posted later the same day, he reiterated the need to enforce the proposed reforms, asserting collective necessity and progress through bipartisan effort.
"Thank you for your support @AGTennessee!" Kustoff expressed gratitude towards partners supporting their initiative. His late afternoon update on March 26, 2025, reiterated a straightforward stance: prohibiting inmates from cellphone access.
