a cellphone was found during a full search of Mt Eden prison on Monday.
Corrections found 284 of the banned devices in the country's prisons in the 2013-14 financial year.
The previous financial year the department found 274 cellphones unlawfully held by prisoners or brought in by visitors. It also confiscated 119 phone batteries, 128 chargers and 151 SIM cards.
Corrections' cellphone jamming system cost a budget-blowing $10.9m to install between 2007 and 2009. It budgeted $5.7m and nearly $6.7m has been spent since, including almost $2.3m in the first five months of last year on a systems upgrade. That followed a $1.3m spruce-up in 2011, according to records released under the Official Information Act.
