there is no valid justification for an inmate to have a computer. They can network with other criminals inside and out. The computers open the doors of all kinds of nefarious activities. Who pays the bills? Who monitors the porn and other filth? Why? Why?
Let them riot, but get the computers out of prisons!
I don’t think it’s what you think, elpadre. I work for a computer networking company that also runs data lines. We were contracted to run lines in prisons for the exact kind of library that is described here - a legal research library.
It takes the place of books, and is NOT connected to the internet. In other words, all they have access to is legal docs and books. Apparently, it is cheaper than buying paper books.
