Right to free speech? I thought prison was punishment for not living by the rules and they didn't get desert?

Sheesh !

[MeekOneGOP]

Ruling lets Arizona inmates write to Web sites
ACLU argued that ban violated right to free speech

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

So THAT explains all the Democratic Underground posters and site disruptors on Free Republic!!

Studies have shown that the vast majority of sociopaths and convicted felons are democrats. For real!!

No wonder the democrat party wants to do away with laws denying jailbird vermin the right to vote.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

LOL. How do the inmates get online to begin with? Simple way to bypass this idiocy: take their blasted computers away. If the justices want them online, they can buy them computers out of their own pockets, but then the guards can say that the cords and wiring are a safety risk. The inmates can get the computers when they are freed. Let them watch soap operas, for all I care.

>>"The Internet in general is difficult to police," Mr. Phelps said. <<

BS. The Internet may be difficult to police, but inmates are not.

Disgusting.

[madfly]

This is absurd. When inmates write letters, they are screened and whoever receives the letters SEES the return address from the Prison.

On the web, Inmates who ran crime rings of any kind can get ahold of credit card number, stolen, or in the name of someone on the outside, order whatever to be shipped to wherever and never be identified as a being behind bars. They can organize shipments of drugs or other contraband, buy dealing with UPS, Greyhound, etc. as long as the credit card is in good standing. I know this from ordering stuff on the web for a blind neighbor using his credit card. These ACL-losers seem to use Arizona for a test market on these things.

[ColdSteelTalon]

Hey, I think that convicts while they are in jail should not be using computers but should be watching TV and then only one TV show....

This is so true! It's disgusting. Tim ( "I think I had two trials because the judge sentenced me" ) Ring has supporters who have websites up for him. He's depicted either as a hero or a victim of the system. It makes me want to vomit. I thought the whole reason they were locked up was to keep the public safe from them.

Second amendment rights next? Right to riot? We Americans are our own worst enemy.
