So he passed a cell phone and ended up in cell without a phone.
Any details about the phone model? An iPhone or Galaxy S4+ or similar might have been somewhat painful.
Australian prisoner Constantine “Kon” Gergiou's protestations that an object detected in his innards was a metal fragment left after surgery have been proven false, after he yesterday passed a mobile phone. Georgiou is a convicted triple murderer, having been found guilty of doing away with three members of a rival motorcycle …
Reports said that the prisoner had been placed in an observation cell while they waited for the phone to be passed. I wonder how much you had to piss off the warden to be assigned to the observation duty. 12 days watching for a prisoner to pass a phone. I can't think of much worse of a job.
And still there is no mention of the type of phone but you can bet it was smarter than the prisoner...

You really need some BOFH lessons. All you should have done is take up smoking, and he'd be worrying every time he needed to fart :)
Didn't Google talk about making a phone where you could upgrade various pieces? The problem will be that the screen is not much smaller than the entire phone.
Hopefully he was using an old school feature phone like the Nokia 8860. We've all passed bigger shits that than before so at least it wouldn't have hurt him on the way out. Can't imagine the screaming if he had a Nexus 6!

I googled and searched on eBay for butt plug phones and came up with nothing.
It seems like prisoners would probably pay out large amounts of cigarettes to get their... hands (maybe other parts) on a phone shaped to be "safely stored" in their asses.
Maybe HTC should work on one of these... it seems to be an optimal fit for their business model... I think it might be best to refer to it as a disposable model... preferably not for recycling.
The alternative phone suggested by Amazon, called "Beat The Boss" (where the Boss is, from the reviews, apparently the name of the metal detector used on entrance to Her Majesty's facilities) appears to be a more, well, comfortable shape. Almost deliberately so.
The reviews and Q&As are hilarious, in an enlightening way, and actually don't appear to be jokes:
> Q: Would this phone set off the metal detector at a federal courthouse?
> A: I would think it is very unlikely, it has only a tiny amount of metal in it's construction, far less than the amount of metal I have as bridge-work on my teeth and I don't set of metal detectors. I do know that it is not detected by the "Boss" chair, designed to find metal contraband in UK prisons.

>...this phone will indeed "beat the the boss". This coupled with how easy and painless it is to hide, has led to the order of two more for friends.
This phone http://www.amazon.co.uk/SMALLEST-THINNEST-J8-Bluetooth-Headphone/dp/B00O586YB2/ref=pd_bxgy_23_img_z looks like it could be used for that purpose although some of the reviews slate it as being poor quality, but at £26.95 I'd not expect it to be the best quality. Almost tempted to get one just because!
