Idaho prisoners hack iPads and transfer $225,000 worth of credits to themselves
- jwess 8y agoIt's a shame JPay charges just for sending electronic messages to inmates. I wonder why someone would choose to use JPay instead of sending a letter? I can't imagine inmates would significantly benefit from the reduced delivery time...
- steve19 8y agoI wonder what the charge rate is. On one hand is sounds like extortion and a breach of at least human decency if not human rights, but it's possible it's used to reduce congestion to a limited number of terminals and censors and so prevent individuals from monopolizing the termials. Although I would prefer they gave at least X free messages per week. The extortion of prisoners makes me sick.
