1. An inmate telephone system incorporating a cellular telephone detection system for detecting unauthorized cellular telephone usage within predetermined zones within a facility, comprising:

  • a first cellular telephone transmission detector having a first zone of detection and configured to produce a first detection signal upon detection of a cellular telephone transmission within the first zone of detection, the first detection signal indicating that the first cellular telephone transmission was detected within the first zone of detection, the first detection signal including information indicative of a location of the first cellular telephone transmission detector;

    a second cellular telephone transmission detector having a second zone of detection and configured to produce a second detection signal upon detection of the cellular telephone transmission within the second zone of detection, the second detection signal indicating that the second cellular telephone transmission was detected within the second zone of detection, the second detection signal including information indicative of a location of the second cellular telephone transmission detector; and

    a cellular telephone detector processor having an interface device coupled to each of the first and second cellular telephone transmission detectors, the cellular telephone detector processor configured to;

    receive the first and second detection signals;

    compare the first detection signal with the second detection signal;

    determine that the first detection signal and the second detection signal are indicative of the same detected cellular telephone transmission based on the comparison; and

    transmit a notification message,wherein the notification message includes an identification of the detected cellular telephone transmission.
