Damn prisons making prisoners their bitches! This is worse than some of the prisoners crimes!
Is this going to spawn story time hussles?
Im old school i suppose. Theres nothing quite like reading from an actual book . I think reading of any type should be encouraged ,especially if youre locked up. Maybe this would be a good humanitarian project for APS. Do a donations based reading program for inmates.
It will be easy to find out who that are running the drug businesses in the prison with those tabs. All you have to look after is the ones that can afford to play Candy Crush 😅
Fuck that I need to eat tonight
Pay me for male and female inmates to seduce the other gender
Joe I watched a whole MILF ad for you. APS Army Go!
$1.80 per hour to read a damn book. Man that’s sad. Just an hour of reading a day, for an entire year, would cost $657.00. And of course when it’s $0.05 a minute($3.00 a hour) that’s $1095.00 a year. Ridiculous! It’s almost like they don’t want these prisons to allow the inmates to do productive things.meanwhile the inmates are making between $0.04-$0.58 an hour. Huh?!?!
Prisoners are out here living the life. People outside can't afford tablets.
Man Ni**as Better of writing a letter and Using Snail Mail or the Pony Express to stay in touch with Fam + Friends Smh I Thought it was Expensive to live in the Free World Smh…
Another way to make my state look bad. These people here can hardly read as it is. How about teaching them to read better, articulate their words and about the authors of famous literature?
American prison system is corrupt. It’s not about rehabilitation.
I have to cut down the volume on your videos because you SHOUT too much
To be completely fair, in this modern day and age you have to pay for most things that will help better you. The sad truth of today🙄😕
We are in real need of prison Reform in this country. More then ever.
They arn't reading "Moby Dick" you said yourself that they are "reading e mail and keeping in touch with loved ones" sounds like they are just paying for WiFi. Why should the tax payers of west Virginia pay for it?
Inside there, somewhere, is a resourceful, nerdy dude about to have the greatest prison hustle ever seen. He'll hack your tablet…at a price.
Good old global tel link
They're making $ on all sides. Almost impossible to stop. Almost..?
violation of freedom of speech & freedom of press?
Hate this as your captive market can't exactly go on amzon order em liberty
"Make money for state"… legalize weed dummys
All democratic states doing that sounds like.
GTL extorts families. It's $2.56 for a 15 minute phone call and $0.20 for a stamp on jpay ($0.40 total if you send your LO a reply stamp plus an additional $0.20 for each attachment) on Michigan. It adds up.
They need to ban all for profit companies. If the prison wants to provide the service from their budget, be free to do that, but manipulating people that are confined and have no way to increase their income , that should be illegal
No, its not illegal. It is, however, really fucked up.
If the system wasn't already fucked, it's exploded, and flew into a black hole now.
I'll put money these will be a success, but NO ONE will spend their time reading on them.
LAND OF THE THIEVES.
As long as there's a dirty dollar out there to be made there will always at least be one dirty motherfucker out there to make that dollar
Prison in Tx you get a job and work for free, that 4 cents would be a blessing for a lot of folks
Companies will find any way to make money off an inmate. Which really ends up being the inmate's family.
God damn these corporations are heartless I mean I don’t expect a company making money off of fucking prisoners who make less than a dollar an hour
Dude seriously, people if you allow this you should be in jail! Now I get it they broke the law but they are still people at the end of the day. This is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment.
Those “serial killer crack monsters “ are about to go broke . If you understand this youve been rockin with joe since 2017
That is exploitation at its finest and some of the worst penny-pinching trick I've heard in a long time
Something needs to be done about this
what we need is a way to stop people to go to prison….. oh, wait
This is coming to Connecticut if the increasing rumors are true. They also are talking about going only to video visits and eventually only emails no letters are cards. We are in year 13 of my husbands 40 year sentence. This change would be devastating. It’s bad enough our daughter who was 13 when her dad went in and has become an accomplished artist has never been able to draw in front of her dad. Now if these changes happen, my husband who is an avid reader won’t be able to read as much. He is also a writer and we already have found with property who tried to take his notebooks. But if we don’t see him face to face and we have to pay for the privilege it’s going to be a whole lot harder on us and then if they do away with letters. We have to pay to send him emails and pay for him to read it. It’s just awlful
That's evil!
Well alot more violence will be happening then… Extortion , and all that other bullshit…. Shit I'ma DONATE ALL MY BOOKS to this prison or jail in WV. . People are gonna be more stupider…. Haha…. BTW not funny
Oh my god…….
This has to be a joke. This cant be for real………wtf?
It’s a shame they are doing this. The Bible should be available for free to anyone to read in prison
Discouraging reading is criminal. They should be PAID TO read. Vicious.
"Stinkin funky ass tablets 😤" JOE SNAPPED LMAOOO
thats bullshit charging that it should be flat rate per day like 10 bucks a day to OWN you ipad and then only charge extra per app,like games 2 dollars each send messages 1 dollar etc.but this per minute shit?where do they get off thats worse than slave shit what theyre exposing the public to,theyre just pigs and cant get enough money also need to pay the CRAZY amount of guards they promise all these jobs to
That is so sad they would do that to a person
0.04 is different than 0.4
