People who are imprisoned are waiting for tablets while the state seeks the seller

Some family members who are being held in Minnesota prisons say the country is moving very slowly in creating a new system to allow imprisoned people using tablet devices. Tablet devices are used by the imprisoned people to send a message with family members, access to educational content and media operation such as music.

Brandi Erddum is an advocate of the organizing committee of imprisoned workers and has a prison in prison in Rush. She said that the tablets were a lifeline for people in prison.

“My son could have already read books, he could take courses, and he could write letters to us, and most importantly, they can hear our voices, and they can hear the voices of the people who love them,” said Verseman. “This connection keeps them on the ground, gives them the purpose and reminds them that they are still concerned there.”

The state had planned to provide free tablets in prisons that start last year. However, in a note issued in June, the Ministry of Reform Commissioner Paul Shenil said, ensuring that the previous board contract, which complied with the state’s requirements, “in addition to other unexpected implementation challenges,” led to a delay in a plan to remove it.

She Sheneel has identified a “long and complex operation” to find a seller to comply with the rules of state purchase and address security concerns associated with tablets. He said in the memo that the state is preparing to request proposals.

“You and I can go out and buy the iPad. Minutes after opening the package, we can connect to the Wi-Fi open network to access all the Internet that must be provided. This is simply not working in the safe environment for the prison.” “We must have strong security requirements to protect from the segment of our residents who tend (to) use technology to engage in continuous criminal behavior.”

A spokesman for the Ministry of Reform in Minnesota said that the agency has no other comment.

“All they have to do is allow people to use the current system to purchase or repair tablets, then we do not have this crisis,” said David Bink, an organizer of the imprisoned workers ’organizing committee. The state stopped allowing people detained to buy tablets from JPY two years ago.

Lori Schwartz lives in the state of Idaho and said it would be difficult to communicate with her daughter without a tablet, who said he was imprisoned at the Minnesota reform facility in Shakoubi for 11 years.

“For me, the tablets make it easier and more private for families and imprisoned individuals to stay in touch, because individuals can be in contact with their rooms instead of open areas,” Schwartz said.

The defenders said that the communications were also restricted due to a system in which the mail is wiped by a third party to stop the smuggling flow to the prisons, as well as some limits on free phone calls.
