True a Faraday cage is best viewed as an increased path loss, I have
worked with cages that prevent communication between two 2W handsets
either side of the window; a theatre system could have holes in the
screen so as to pass some signal, although mobile phones handsets are
not a lot less powerful than handheld transceivers (i.e. viz. 1W vs.
5W), if a building is in a strong signal region for mobile phones then
the screening required could prevent emergency comms which could be with
a weaker more distant base.

Added to which for the jammer to be effective throughout the building it
will also jam signals outside; put simply, it will not stop at the
window.
