The exact same is true of people working outside of prison.
- gbalduzzi 1y agoI think it's reasonable to assume an additional risk for people in prison. Even though the enrolled people are completely trustworthy, doing this prevents untrustworthy people to simulate interest in the program just to be able to contact the external world for illegal activities.
- Retric 1y agoNot really, contraband includes many things that are completely legal for non prisoners to have like currency, phones, knives, or alcohol. Sending that stuff to prisoners is illegal https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1791 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1791 List of prohibited items: https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?width=840&height=800&iframe=true&def_id=18-USC-1897124577-1512016688&term_occur=999&term_src=title:18:part:I:chapter:87:section:1791 https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?width=840...
- snickerdoodle12 1y agoYou can send phones, knives or alcohol via email or slack?
- Retric 1y agoYou can agree to pay for them at a given prices via email or slack. It’s more or less guaranteed that contraband will get into prisons if someone is willing to pay for it. Thus the rules around no cash or phones for prisoners. Inmates are treated very differently by the legal system than regular people. Thirteenth Amendment: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States”
- snickerdoodle12 1y agoYou can also do that via a butt phone, which are everywhere.
- Retric 1y agoThat heavily depends on the facility. Phones aren’t that difficult to track down as a radio device, but such efforts are rare.
- scott_w 1y agoGood point, in that case, let’s open it up and let it be a free for all. May as well let them take the drugs in through the front door, while we’re at it.
- snickerdoodle12 1y agoOf all the things to be concerned about you picked drugs?
- scott_w 1y agoI’m just using it to point out the stupidity of your argument. Don’t think too deeply about it, you might hurt yourself.
- snickerdoodle12 1y agoShame this account doesn't have the flag button unlocked yet, because you deserve it. Maybe go read the HN guidelines?
- scott_w 1y agoMaybe check them yourself? I see nothing but sealioning in your line of questions.
- newswasboring 1y agoPeople working outside pay rent. From a third to upto half their salary.
