A broken tablet with the glass shards can easily become a weapon. No?
Put them on a “Devil’s Island” and forget them. Tablets? What LIB idiocy.
You are Right!! Here in PA the crooks have tablets, mp3 players and PlayStation to play in the Gym on Giant TV screens! Also they have been filing taxes for years and one year they had over 600 crooks getting them done by 2 crooks! The system is broke!!
Let’s assume, yes. Everything they do, every message they send is tracked, logged and retained.
Nothing like giving these criminals a means to watch porn and access subversive information.
If it were up to me, they wouldn’t even have light bulbs.
1. No artificial lighting
2. No TV
3. No radio
4. No books, magazines or newspapers
5. No computers.
6. No prepared hot meals. They can subsist on Purina Dog Chow.
7. No air conditionang
8. Heating at no higher than 65F.
It’s prison. They need incentive to not want to come back.
Suddenly being in prison is exactly the same as being a teen. You are locked into a small room fixated on an electronic device with no other worldly interests. Even sex is unimportant anymore.
Now they can surf for some silly, desperate, lonely wumins on the dating sites they can snooker and deceive with for all sorts of potential mischief.
The idea of restitution should be part of the prison system. In other words, WORK! Men need it, whether they think so or not. Maybe these pads help some aspects of prisoner “control”, but hours of good old fashioned labor would be better. Leave prisoners time to foment and they will.
I am thinking putting prisoners on an island and their victims scoring points hunting them and broadcast it would make an interesting game to watch.

Possibly a useful tool, like TV or phone access.
An individual that worked for me was caught/ convicted running drugs. Three years then work release.
We hired him back, and I had to deal with his overseers.
Not much common sense in that bunch.
He said many of the inmates were incapable of life. PERIOD.
In work release they had to do the cooking, laundry, cleaning... They made a mess of most everything and could not clean it up. The group was often held back on privileges because of the mess.
I see no mention of using the tablets for educational purposes. That would be asking too much I guess.
