LOL, yep, I heard that a million times when I was there. 😄😝
I’ll bet you did.
Did you ever find one guy that thought he deserved what he got?
Yep. And Cuomo oozes Mafioso. That guy looks like a Godfather.
And.. Wait for it.. They’ll be CASTING THEIR VOTES ELECTRONICALLY IN ELECTIONS!
><
They’ll each be required to register to vote as a Democrat before they receive the tablet.
Yes, some certainly did. Most did not. It was prison life they didn’t like. Oh well. 😀
“have a dear friend in a 4-5 level prison (5 is the highest) and he needs two courses for his associates degree.“
Cry me a river.

The new ‘BFF’ in prison will be the computer whiz who knows how to hack into the wardens etal WIFI ..
” 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.”
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....
What could go wrong as you say. They let them have cassette players. They could buy them, or have someone send them one. Then they'd tear them apart and use the motor, and turn ball point pens into tattoo machines.
I'm assuming each pad will have to be inscribed with their name and number, but they inscribed the cassette players too, but it didn't stop the cons from scratching out the inscription, and putting their own name and numbers on them.
Like I said...I'm glad I don't have to put up with that crap anymore. I feel sorry for the officers and supervisors who are still doing their own bid, eight plus hours a day. I did mine.
Giving pads to the cons, will make it awfully hard for the Governor to tell the C.O’s and supervisors that they can’t have a decent raise. The officers turned down a five year contract that offered a 2% raise each year. That was in February of 2017. So I’m assuming they are working without a contract like they have in the past.
I’m sure they didn’t.
I’m pretty well self-contained. If I had to do a stint, I’d ask for solitary.
It’s not the time. It’s the danger. Put me in a room with a pencil and some paper, and I’d be fine for years.
Our prisons are generally a disgrace. Mostly filled with non-violent drug users. I wish the President would get on board in leading prison reform nationally. Many who rot in prison could in fact be given learning opportunities that would, if they took advantage of them, prepare them for some kind non-criminal careers. Let the non-violent offenders have the option to improve and change; many would.
The prison-industrial complex, while unavoidable, is both a blessing and a curse that needs to be overhauled, IMHO.
And yes, I have spent plenty of time as a volunteer visiting prisoners in County jails and State prisons in Arizona.
Pretty clever new market for JPay.
Why not? They give them free stuff like that in school - let them keep them when they go on to “13th grade” (Sing Sing).../s
The most common ingredient in meth is pseudoephedrine or ephedrine, commonly found in cold medicine. Through a cooking process the pseudoephedrine or ephedrine is chemically changed into meth. The ingredients that are used in the process of making meth can include: ether, paint thinner, Freon®, acetone, anhydrous ammonia, iodine crystals, red phosphorus, drain cleaner, battery acid, and lithium (taken from inside batteries).Awfully nice to give the criminals some pretty big lithium batteries.
Interesting thoughts there. You’ve got a good point.
I remember one of these companies used to run TV commercials bragging how when you bought one of their computers they’d donate one to someone in Africa. I assume they yanked the commercials when consumers realized they were buying two computers - and sending the second one to Africa...
Back when I was a Sergeant in NY DOCS, I got zinged for bringing in my laptop, and connecting to the internet via the phone system. It was during the 2000 election fiasco, where the news of hanging chads was changing everyday. I wanted to be able to keep up with what was going on. It was wrong of me to do it, and I paid dearly for it. They fined me $5,000. Maybe I can get my money back...ha ha.
