I agree that forcing people to read their mail on only certain devices at certain times under supervision is not a human-being-respectful rule. But there is also the consideration that probably it's there for the reason of preventing drugs from being laced into the mail, even into the very paper.
How about they do the simple step of scanning the mail, and reprinting it for the inmates to receive a physical copy? Of course, then you get into the problem of how much a markup is the shitty jail company going to apply to that.

Nah, my money's on this being the latest in a campaign of depriving prisoners of vices. First they came for the cigarettes. This is more likely about porn. Some of the most inventive smut I've ever seen was written by/to prisoners. You have to be a real poet laureate to get erotica past dedicated censors without too many redactions. Moving this correspondence to digital, limited-access kiosks means you don't have any romantic hope to cling to (or jerk off to) back in your cell.
