I think I missed something when MonaLisa got released. The women said something about the phones not working when you get released and that's how they knew she was a plant. Can someone explain what that meant? Why would they shut off the phones when someone gets released?

I was confused about that as well. It seems silly to disconnect the phones. But what really got me was all of them immediately yelling about how they knew she was a plant because of how personal she got with all of them. If her asking all of these questions and getting close with these girls had them thinking she was a plant then why didn't someone say something? She was. Ever confronted by anyone as far as I remember.
shareThe cover story was that she was being extradited. Apparently, according to the inmates, when someone is being extradited they shut the phones down. The comment made by an inmate was that she wasn't being extradited, she was actually going home.
I believe the actual quote was: "She ain't going nowhere but home!"
I inferred that an inmate being released does NOT lead to a phone shutdown, while an extradition does call for a phone shutdown. I'm guessing that this is a security measure -- an inmate being extradited is still in custody and security has to be maintained until they get to their destination. I suppose the jail shuts the phones down to prevent a potential escape attempt. If the phones are working and an inmate is called to be extradited, a quick telephone call could alert people outside who may have designs on breaking that person out. That would put the jail transport at risk.

oh, o.k. that makes sense.

the weird thing is that the officers were not supposed to know about the program but if the cover story was extradition, the officers should have gotten suspicious when they were told to release her. I figured they would enlist the officer that they used to bring them into the jail to bring them back out.
shareTypically they don't tell inmates why people are leaving. Monalisa's cover story was that she was being held there until extradited to NYC. So that's the story she told the inmates.

I understand that. what i mean is that the officers had the same cover stories at intake so the file should have said extradition instead of release. they made such a big deal out of bringing some of the participants in as transfers from another jail that i just figured that they'd have a more elaborate plan for release.

But I wonder if, once the release is ordered for the plants, if they don't tell the staff that they're not actual inmates but instead are undercover? I mean, the producers are interviewing them immediately after release, out in the open, and asking them about going home... so perhaps when release time comes, TPTB who have kept it under wraps just flat-out tell the staff that these people are being released because they weren't being held for an actual crime in the first place.
