Replied "Tablets are pre paid for by an outside company. Again, no taxpayer monies are used for them. Inmates have to use their money to get music, use email, use phone, etc. And if they misbehave, officers can confiscate it for a certain amount of time. Reinforce good behavior "

Replied "Their cable TV, wifi, games, weights etc are NOT free. No tax payer monies are involved. All comes from state inmate funds. Each inmate is paid a minimum of $8/month for "work" some do more, paid more. They donate to it. If it runs out, it's on them."

Replied "Plus, the mail is a popular way to get drugs into a prison. If this way stops that, it's a huge win for officer safety. I do think sending mail to Florida is silly though. Should have a system here that does it too. Would be quicker."

Replied "Don't let the story fool you about their mail. They all get a FREE tablet that they can use to do email and even make phone calls with! So the mail is NOT the only means to the outside world for them at all."

Replied "That's a sure fire way to have riots that can injure or kill staff members. I used to think like you until I saw how it changed their behavior. Believe me, there's plenty here to make lives miserable "

Replied "Most inmates have to eat food made from the prison kitchens that most are filled with bugs, mice, and roaches. Staff do best they can to clean and sanitize but it's difficult. Plus the quality of the food leaves a lot to be desired."

Replied "Lack of staffing is a major issue. Some prisons are so short staffed that they are making officers work 56 hours a week. Four 12 hour shifts plus an 8 hour shift. Officer starting pay is $16/hour or so. Many places with far better working conditions start out much higher."

Commented "As an officer of doc, some of the prisons are in serious need of repairs or improvements. No ac in heat of summer is unbearable. Temps in mid 90s where officers sit. Worse in some prison cells. Most officers don't get ac. Yet ALL non custody, secretaries, case managers do. "
