How Florida's Prisons and DRM Made $11.3M Worth of Prisoners' Music Disappear
- larntz 8y agoIt seems it would put the state in a better position to negotiate if they forced equipment providers to use open standards. Of course, that assumes the state cares about the prisoner's best interest. Jpay sounds like an extremely scummy company. I wonder what it's like working in that IT department.
- londons_explore 8y agoThe whole idea that family members (outside prison) can pay money to give perks to someone inside prison seems wrong... If prison is a punishment, you shouldn't be able to pay money to make it less bad.
- hansthehorse 8y agoI would challenge you to eat state prison supplied food for two weeks then tell me how unfair it is for someone outside sending in either your own or someone elses money to buy things in the commissary.
- dnbgfher 8y agoThis seems like a good argument for improving the quality of prison food in general, rather than only allowing prisoners with access to money to improve their own situation.
