Internet for prisoners

It doesn't sound wise to me. They're cut off from society for a reason, right? Why tempt them to possibly cause further damage? Besides, the internet is a privalege, not something that's essential to live.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, well, I always got the internet taken away when I was grounded for not doing something right. XP

And there are a number of civilians who still don't have access to the internet at home.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

They get TV, don't they? They can watch the news... I'm sure there are books and newspaper around too. It's not like the internet has to be the ONLY source of entertainment. I don't see why it's seen as such an essential sometimes.

Do they do Bingo? I know there are other activities to keep prisoners occupied. I had a professor in art college who gave some art lessons at a prison. It's not like there's absolutely nothing.

As for what they could do on the internet... well, think about what the internet is... Information Super Highway. It's not just hackings, but also things with pedophiles, internet bullying, and fake identities. Not that anyone can't do that stuff, it's just more worrisome if it's people who they could prevent from doing those things.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oliver Twist lolol

My dad mentioned something the other day about maybe letting them take educational courses online for schooling. That actually didn't sound too bad.

How ya doing, buddy?
