Our prisons uniformly hate the idea of making any technology
available to inmates. Prisons and jails
by necessity employ really low wattage folks that cannot grasp even the simplest
of computer tasks.
Right now any mail to inmates must be opened, read and
examined for cleverly concealed narcotics.
That costs a bundle and sometimes seriously delays the mail to the
inmates.
They need not make computers available to inmates but they
could create inmate e-mail accounts for purposes of simply receiving the
mail. Two things swill happen. For one, the inmates will get more mail but
the likelihood of smuggled narcotics is totally eliminated. The second is that it will be a lot easier
for staff members to save the communications for intelligence and investigative
purposes.
If e-mail was instituted it could be a perk granted or
withdrawn as inmate behavior dictates.
I’m also a big fan of Skype.com to replace maximum-security
non-contact visitation. Why waste
resources searching and dealing with visitors when they need not even enter prison facilities?
Pass this idea on to prisons and governors everywhere. Inmate families are usually poor and prisons are located far away from them. Why victimize families for what an inmate has done?
God Bless the victims of the massacre in Colorado.
ReplyDeleteSomething is amiss here, the BBC had up to the minute coverage of this horror prior to the American MSM. IE; CNN, DRUDGE, AP.
This was the act ofa solo psychopathic 24 yr old who was allegedly made Batman was soldout. Definitely not logical and highly suspect.
Was this a false flag or the acts of a Manchurian candidate to advance the UN disarmament of the American public?
The one worlders would gleefully sacrifice the innocent blood of American citizens to advance their satanic agenda and the enslavement of humanity.
Christo Rei!
At least some of the Federal prisons do this through corrlinks.The inmate sends you an e-mail and you must fill out permission for him to e-mail with you. Not a bad idea.
