Wait what... How will they have access to computers/phones to execute transactions?
in two states, CO and NY every inmate (some 36,000) all have tablets. In other states there will be a few kiosk machines for them to use.
I think it is really cool that inmates are able to have tablets to talk to family. I think it will catch on in most other states too. It is pretty much inevitable. I really like the idea of kiosks for the prisons that do not have the option of keeping tablets. I think that was a really good idea of Cellblocks to implement kiosks with this functionality.
