TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey corrections officials have a new way of detecting certain contraband in prisons: cell phone-sniffing dogs. The Corrections Department’s Canine Unit has trained several dogs to detect cell phones, even when they are turned off.

The dogs began sniffing for banned phones in mid-October, and have already made unannounced sweeps in all 14 New Jersey prisons. A demonstration of the canines’ capabilities and those of their handlers was planned for next week.

Cultural notes:
1) The chisel in the cake trope is replaced by one that has a cell phone in a cake.
2) Where more at home can a cell phone be than in a cell?

Speaking of cakes:

  1. One bite of that babycake and you will turn into a pedophile cannibal.

    But I’d still go for the fetus-shaped cookies. especially if anyone can tell me where to find a coathangar-shaped cookie-cutter to go along with it.

    that cake may not represent back labor.
    After the baby’s head emerges the baby rotates and the shoulders are delivered.
    but I agree. Back labor is a pain.
