According to The Atlantic, the safest place for an inmate to hide a phone is in their rectum. To keep the orifice sized and supple, inmates have been known to tuck a bar of soap away as a placeholder.
With this insight, I made molds out of burner phones and used them to make bars of soap. Afterwards, I sold and donated the proceeds to the Marshall Project, a nonprofit news organization that seeks to create and sustain a sense of national urgency about the U.S. criminal justice system.
