Certainly Barlinnie and Greenock prison are right next to housing and I'd imagine others are as well. Even so I think they could arrange the jammers in such a way as to avoid leakage outwith the walls of the prison. Even if not all the cells were covered having the majority jammed would be better than nothing.
We don't really use mobile for work purposes but I have seen other forces using them. Dunno about the prison service but I can't think of any reason why a prison guard would need them. Having a radio with one button to press seems far safer than typing in a number and waiting for it to ring.
