I think regular human contact keeps folk's humanity intact
Prison isn't supposed to be fun but the prison system keeps making confinement wacker in the wackest yet passive ways -
When I was county. That's how we had to do it.
-
The COUNTY jail doing it here. And that ? cost money

bingo... that doing that to charge you for convenience. you can video conference with them without leaving the crib.. ? aint cheap either -
They do that in county all ready
-
It's a way for them to make more money off of you but there are some positives especially if your fam can't or don't travel.
The main problems are that its expensive asf
And they are phasing out in person visits. People need those in person visits to keep them sane. -
Hugging family and taking pics keep them brothers going sometimes. First weights get removed now personal visits on Deck next? Conjugal visits and books R next 2 go.

Just allow inmates to have cellphones.

Like you already said, they have them anyway, so just let all of them have cellphones. Far easier to stay in contact through texting or facetime. -
Lol at all these prison experts
-
I mean not saying its right but neither is commiting a crime.
Anybody who ever been locked up for anything will.tell you you on those folk time
You move when they say move.and if you don't they got.the hole or worse for your ass.
Don't do crime and you have to look at your family on a TV screen
-
dont care not in prison(but of course its a hustle)
-
they do that in county here. except you come to the jail and you talk to them through video. ? is crazy.

I encourage you to read this guy's book "Just Mercy". It was life changing for me in terms of how I view the way we treat inmates. Bryan Steveson is a special brand of genius.

Aside from that, there are numerous case studies for what we could look like if we treated inmates humanely from Norway to New Zealand to Switzerland. We could move differently if we chose to. -
Speaking from experience, visits are a double edged sword. It feels good to connect with the outside but at the same time it makes a mf angry and breeds anxiety and separation issues. It's a few of the guys that looked forward to them visits but all the ? did was remind me that I'm confined.
That ? just seems like a way to save on the budget. Visits cost money. Staff needs to be assigned, searches etc. Mfs are trying to trim the fat. Ain't got ? to do with convicts but I'm more than positive the idea was presented with prison safety and with convicts being the selling point. -
On one hand, it's punishing those that actually get visitors, and on the other hand it would allow those who can't access their loved ones an opportunity to do so. It may also be a good way to allow children to get face time with a parent without subjecting them to the trauma of visiting a parent in a prison setting.
I'd be very interested to know where the massive savings would be spent though. -
I know my girl couldn't visit me in jail because she had warrants. This is helpful
-
Took away weights because ? was bigger than the guards now people dont come back swole mother ? is starving in there..on another not i thought yall was all army an police yall convicts

That money is going to salaries, Period.
Connecting with the babies is the only bright side about the whole thing. Mfs really can't grasp the power of a face to face visit unless they're in the situation. Mfs been facetiming. Phone access ain't ? but another hustle in the joint. Administration trying to catch up and profit from it. -
Hopefully salaries of instructors, counselors and other mental health professionals.
My coworker keeps getting texts from her friend serving time trying to convince her to smuggle a phone card in so he has minutes. I was like badddd idea unless you want to be one of those chicks serving time behind a male.
She didn't even know it was illegal..smh.
