That is EXACTLY what I was thinking.... Folks in our jails eat better than most families, they get A/C in the summer and Heat in the winter, a roof over their head, etc etc etc... Many have TV's in their cells, phone privs, cable TV too, movies, etc etc.... They're in jail for a reason, they committed a crime... let them sit and stare at the walls for the duration of the sentence.... ok, maybe a bit too harsh.. give them a book, I'll even allow them a different paperback book a month.
Jail should be like the movie Papilon when Dustin Hoffman was in the solitary confinement jail.... No-one would commit crimes if that was the case.... Michael P.

I mean the only thing keeping me from going was lack of internet access!!! Seriously, you're in jail! Why the hell do you get the privilege of anything. When my parents grounded me, I couldn't do anything, that was the punishment. I wouldn't have learned a lesson if I was grounded, and could still play on the computer, or go outside, or whatever. Jeeeees.... Seriously. Wtf? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Justin Scott Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 11:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [funsec] Inmate E-Mail (someone guessed right) You may recall several months ago there was a discussion regarding "invitations" from a member of a website/service sent by the service on behalf of one of its users. A lot of debate ensued and I tried to determine how best to approach it given a situation where it was the only viable option given certain circumstances. Somebody guessed correctly... the company I'm working with is bringing e-mail to inmates. Now that we're online and have the system up and running at a jail I can actually talk about it. In relation to the previous discussion, inmates have the option to invite their friends and family to connect with them by entering their e-mail address. The system then sends a rather generic e-mail letting the recipient know that "inmate name" at "jail name" is inviting them to connect on our service. Inmates are limited to sending to five e-mail addresses per day, and each e-mail address can only be send an invitation once every 12 hours. Invitations are never sent automatically (i.e. the inmate has to click the "send" button for the e-mail to go out). The e-mail also includes links to block requests from that inmate or to block all invitation requests to the system. Given the limited information I could provide initially, someone guessed that it could be in a jail environment, so kudos to whoever that was. <g> So far the system has opened to good feedback from the inmates and their families. If anyone has suggestions on improving the invitation process or anything else I'm all ears.
