Why do convicted criminals have access to fhe internet in the first place? Aren’t they being punished?

I love a good prisoners outsmart prison guards story.

I think it’s a great idea to have tablets. Make them play my little pony and smurf sim.

Because they are basic communication and learning tools.

If you want your prisoners to have some skill besides crime to support themselves upon release, it’s a good idea to let them use computers.

More disturbing is the real-money credit system for this and the profit motive inherent in it. Profit and prisons are an incredibly dangerous mix.

Not anymore. They’re “monitored” now, not punished. Another system the left has corrupted squealing and fighting for prisoner’s rights.
