New York state officials plan to provide every inmate with a free computer tablet, sparking a mix of praise and criticism.
Approximately 51,000 inmates in 54 prisons will be eligible to receive a tablet, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) according to AP. The devices are being provided to the state by Miami-based JPay Inc. and will reportedly not encumber taxpayers with any costs.
look forward to introducing this concept to the incoming 51K prison posters soon finding their way to pol. maybe we can have a penpal thread.

What the hell is going on in that photo?
Brandon Baker
wonderful. Just what everyone needs (pic related) It won't last, 1st smashed tablet will be turned into a shiv. Also why exactly?
Nathaniel Hughes
spirit cooking
Josiah Taylor
How long until an inmate is beaten to death with one?
Ayden Thomas
Such punishment for doing crimes, be fed for free 3 times a day, have bed and roof to live in, earn money while in there and free tablet. No wonder people turn to crimes instead being homeless.
Cameron Sullivan
this is just going to increase crime in our beautiful country. had enough of the lib-tards and niggers, anyone got a new country to stay?
Isaiah Wilson
oh, so thats why the taxes are so high. my god i need to get the fuck out of here.
Samuel Barnes
>forced to use a tablet Truly, this is the worst fate.
Jack Hall
It’s a good way to sedate the inmate population. is it cheaper? Will behavior improve due to the now docile nature the inmates will fall into. Sell the shit out of Boulder Crush. Chain gang smashing rocks
Ayden Long
Ever notice how the assholes bitching about taxes are always the people that are better off than everyone else to begin with? Please get the fuck out of here exactly as you depicted.
Logan Lee
inmates that are occupied with TV or reading or other things are less likely to misbehave, they should however only give it to those who show good behavior like they do with TV right now, you act like a moron, no TV for a while and so on.. but overall it's a great idea for long term offenders, on top of that all network will be monitored so they don't have to worry about inmates sneaking paper mail in their assholes anymore and can just read and view their screen on demand.
Matthew Thomas
You know nothing of how the inside of a prison actually works you leaf faggot larp
Liam Anderson
the fuck are you talking about, you stupid nigger?
Jonathan Johnson
A computer lab was enough. Tablets are just contraband given for free.
Levi Miller
Half the retards on this board don't seem to understand that you can't treat prisoners like caged animals.
If you sent someone to prison and refuse to give them any education, any employment, any training, or any support what are they going to do when they get outside? They're going to have to turn to crime to even survive. This HARD ON CRIME KILL'EM ALL John Wayne bullshit DOES NOT FUCKING WORK. We have the highest prison population for a reason, and it isn't because Americans are magically more likely to commit crimes.
Sure, if someone is a murderer, or a rapist, or a child molester and are going to be in Prison for their entire lives then they don't need to be given these things, but if someone is going to be getting out you should spend some money to educate them so when they get out they don't go to prison.
At high security prisons it can cost upwards of $100,000 per year per inmate, you could spend a fraction of that educating them to stop them from going to prison once they get out. It makes no sense from an economic, logical, or moral point of view to be so fucking hard on crime.

>It’s a good way to sedate the inmate population. This. The only better thing to do would be to plug them all in to Xbox
David Jones
It's a way to squeeze more money out of inmates and their families. It's not going to cost taxpayers anything because they will most likely be charged for their data usage at exorbitant rates.
Robert Foster
That's a nice idealistic outlook but in reality our prison system is just nigger daycare. Doesn't matter how they're treated, they'll just end up doing the same shit when they get out. Might as well save your money.
Tyler Hernandez
It's at least worth the attempt, right? As I said, the price of keeping someone locked up in a high security prison is so insane that tacking a few thousand on there to try and reform them seems like a nobrainer.
Sure, if the program ends up failing you can cut it, but I would at least want to try. Anything to try and reduce our prison population and create productive members of society out of people.
Grayson Brooks
>It's at least worth the attempt, right? No. Build a cheaper cage.
Adam Ross
This is a good idea in theory to pacify, but this just gives drug kingpins operating out of prison much easier ways to organize with their gangs/syndicates.
Jaxon Richardson
They're going to break them apart and turn them into shivs.
Juan Martinez
REHABILITATION IS THE POINT OF JAIL YOU IDIOTS. CURRENT SYSTEM ISNT WORKING.
Jackson Flores
you can't rehabilitate 75 iq africans. It's literally impossible.
Right in the description - you don't even have to click for it - it says they're being donated by some company.
Jaxson Lee
Checked. I'm sure the tablets will be loaded with tracking software. This reeks like a social experiment to me.
David Wilson
Beat me to it. It's like a zoo studying monkeys.

>what are they going to do when they get outside? Hey fuckhead all the phds one might get in prison doesn't mean I have to hire you. Kids can't even get jobs just because they got caught smokin weed 5 years ago. FUCK FELONS
John Walker
They do it for a number of reasons
1: Online case data is more cost effective and space efficient then printing and storing prisoner's court in real space.
2: Letting prisoners spend years of their lives playing phone games in an anti-psychotic medication fueled stupor instead of forming rape gangs out of boredom is really the ideal from a prison guard perspective.
Ayden Cooper
if pornhub was a stock it will go through the roof
Jacob Nelson
would be cool if I could avoid the homosex. maybe in country like Norway
Adam Thompson
What is she doing with all of those?
Henry Jones
if theyre used to rehabilitate, then its a good idea. its good to have a stick and carrot approach to prisoners, just the punishments doesnt work, you have to give incentives for prisoners to behave. one day most of those prisoners will be released, what do you want to come out? a man or an animal?
Blake Flores
Its New York, The tablets will probably only access buzzfeed and cnn. I feel sorry for them.
Brody Cook
I unironically think this is a good thing. The total separation from the outside world that jail imposes makes re-integration once you're released extremely difficult. So long as the wifi is heavily monitored and the tablets are treated as a privilege, it may help the inmates become less violent, even learn while inside.
Of course none of that applies to shitskins, but there are still a few whites in there.
Colton Diaz
Except you won't get your tendies, faggot.
Matthew Bennett
You know that cute asian girl you were chatting with? Ya that was her.

Common sense is lacking ITT
Luke Carter
Check. I’m all for it.
Nathaniel Walker
Yes its called progressive taxation. When you are a total loser your taxes are zero. When you are middle class or better your taxes are high.
People who dont complain about taxes complain that their minimum wage is too low or their social welfare isnt enough.
Landon Collins
What about non-niggers?
Kevin Myers
Someone should send these prison officials that article about nigger kids in middle of nowhere getting tablets and hacking the OS within days.s

Kayden Phillips
high quality fap material will solve the problem of prison rape.
Chase Howard
For the past year and a half, there's been a looming story about corrupt, high-ranking LEOs dismissing evidence and/or looking the other way in high profile criminal cases, now these fucks wanna give convicted criminals access to the intarweb. Can't wait for the official response to question like this: "Don't worry abaht it!"
Landon Carter
If you disagree with this your an idiot. Equipping 50,000 inmates with a $150 tablet would cost $7,000,000. Less than 0.25% of the NYSDOCC budget of $3,000,000,000. Inmates and officers lives will be saved because the inmates are kept occupied. Extreme violence comes from boredom and hatred that develops from that boredom. Plus the inmate has a privilige that can be taken away now. More reason to behave. Cant understand why every inmate was not given a netbook or tablet 5 years ago.
Jordan Morales
Except thats not how prison works. You can make a blunt object or knofe out of anything. Inmates can use weights in prisons that allow them to kill but they rarely do because they know other inmates will kill them for getting that privilege lige taken away.
Jonathan Jones
Who said internet? I imagine they will load the things with books and films and close the prison library for a nice saving.
Easton Cook
The point of jail is to isolate criminals from society.
Mason Bennett
It will make it worse
Jacob Campbell
>free internet >free tablet >free keyboard to type? >free food >free room >free bed >free clothing >forced sex
where can /lgbt/ channers sign up?
Henry Sullivan
No, that's what it SHOULD be for. It's mutated a bit.
Justin Cooper
You think so? I think prison perfectly exhibits the dangers of no-fap. Going no-fap for too long turns you into a violent homosexual criminal, clearly. Give inmates fap material and I bet they would care less about man ass.
Bentley Thomas
Bwahaha my fave movie
Tyler Miller
lol, the idea that they do criminal shit because they are uneducated is the dumbest thing ever
they do it cause it makes them powerful
Grayson Brown
I actually agree with you on the fact that felons are basically fucked from ever moving up from the lowest of classes due to the fact that simply having a felony on record ends your life. Non violent stuff and baby tier shit should have some form of rehab available. In white countries you can have functional programs like that without wasting your money.
Here's the thing, though: we have a lot of spics and niggers. They're not going to rehabilitate as they're basically animals in the first place. Smart niggers and spics don't get caught, so those outliers don't matter in this context.
Jace Walker
It's a modern "art" performance.
