The concern is this is the first step toward doing away with direct to direct visiting. Families would only see their loved ones on a computer. I have a dear friend in a 4-5 level prison (5 is the highest) and he needs two courses for his associates degree. You would never believe how hard it is to get the material. There’s only a couple of schools in the Nation left who will do everything by mail as most have gone to computer and he doesn’t have access to internet. Books and lessons are constantly getting lost because other prisoners could care less if he gets the material and proctors are not available for weeks at a time.

Cry me a river.

Wow, your Dear Friend is a VICTIM! I hope he is seeking justice through the courts. Oh, by the way, what is he accused of doing to be committed to a “4-5” level prison? Not that any alleged “crime” could ever justify his difficulty in obtaining his school books....
