Why does any percentage need to be withheld?

  It’s not a good idea to let inmates have access to more money than they need. I can see situations where their family might need it but it will certainly be exploited by inmates and their family. There’s a lot of inmates that claim it’s easier to get drugs on the inside than the outside. Whatever you want is available for a price.

    > It’s not a good idea to let inmates have access to more money than they need. Why not? What's the downside? Who determines how much they "need"?

      It's dangerous to have wealth/value in prison because it's easy for other prisoners to extort you through threats or acts of violence.

        If that's the case then we should protect prisoners better, not withhold their money.
