One wonders just how Puerto Rican inmates get possession of a phone, behind bars, but they certainly didn’t let the opportunity go to waste.
Bored female inmates at an American jail posted sexy snaps of themselves in their cellblock using an illegal mobile phone and posted them online.
But the alarm went up for the warden of Bayamon prison in Puerto Rico when the photos of the inmates – scantily-clad and in some cases totally naked – went on to be published in a national newspaper.
It led to a severe crackdown and intensive searching in the cell blocks, with sniffer dogs trying to find the offending mobile phone.

Strike a pose: The images show the prisoners in different parts of the jail
The photos include snaps where the inmates posed holding each other in skimpy pajamas, in their underwear and some completely naked in the shower room.
A source from the jail told media sources how the prison guards found homemade weapons and knives along with mobile phones in the cells of two of the women who posed in the photos.

The duo who have not been identified have racked up a list of more than 20 disciplinary offences during their time behind bars.
Their naked mischief-makers meanwhile have now added even more time to their sentences.
The search was carried out after prison officials recognized the washroom and bathroom areas where the pictures were taken and also identified the inmates from the unpixelated photos.
