A 16 WAPT News investigation on cellphones in Mississippi prisons is prompting change.
16 WAPT's Andrew Kinsey found several inmates using illegal smartphones to take pictures and update Facebook pages.
Mississippi Department of Corrections officials said it's a problem they're working to fix.
After Kinsey's report aired Tuesday night, all of the Facebook accounts he found were removed.
Attorney General Jim Hood said stopping the problem can be difficult.
"I think our laws are adequate, but unfortunately, if you get a guy that is doing a life sentence and if you say, 'If you use a cellphone, we are going to give you five more years,' it's not a lot of deterrent," Hood said.
Officials said if anyone knows of an inmate who is online, they should contact MDOC, which will work with Facebook to deactivate the account.
