Engineering:Toilet talk
From HandWiki
Toilet talk is a form of telephony where parties communicate through toilets connected to the same plumbing line.[1] Parties at either end speak into their toilet bowls, and the bowls and plumbing line serve as a speaking tube. Due to hygienic issues, toilet talking is only prevalent among inmates.
The practice has been documented at multi-story jails in the United States including Multnomah County Detention Center in Oregon and San Quentin State Prison in California .[1]
The practice was highlighted by the Netflix series Jailbirds, at the Sacramento County Jail.[2][3][4]
