Prison and the internet?
Been trying to settle an argument here. I said that I didn't think you were allowed to access the net when you were doing stir - others said you were. Any ideas?

Re: Prison and the internet?
AFAIK you aren't allowed acess - this is only going on the blogs of an english guy in a prison in arizona, so is about American prisons.

Maybe they are allowed to send E-mails to family ? but have no other access to the net.

Re: Prison and the internet?
This was already discussed here before a little while ago. True to form, it was closed. http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=29175
AFAIK, ATM they don't however I think the government is trying to bring it in.

No, he writes the blogs to his family using the innards of a ball-point, and then his family post the letters online for him.

It might be argued that those that use the internet to peddle their criminal offences should be denied access to the internet.Paedophiles are one group that spring to mind.

Re: Prison and the internet?
Ye, a prisoner having access to the internet, has access to the outside world, a window without bars! But come to think of it, I'd probably give certain offenders access? maybe to all of the pensioners who are in there for none payment of taxes.

But where does that stop? If you're in prison because you've committed a crime, then you should have the same restriction of privileges that all prisoners have.
As much as some people find it distasteful, non-payment of Council Tax is illegal, so why should some pensioner (to use your example) have different 'rights' while they're inside?
