Except in a very few minimum security facilities, inmates do not have ANY computer access and the very small handful that do are closely monitored and strictly regulated to ensure that it's used only in connection with educational programs, not for surfing or chatting.
The idea that inmates have access is just another myth.

No, inmate can no longer recieve calls. If there's a authentic emergency/urgent count number number a pal can call the detention center and communicate to both the Chaplain, the inmate's counselor or the backyard watch commander and the inmate will learn that he needs to call abode. In particular situations, an criminal professional can agenda an appointment to communicate with an inmate by ability of telephone and those calls might want to be inbound.

totally depends on security level. Prisons have many levels of what is allowed and not allowed. Some do, many do not.
It may be dangerous, but if used properly, what a wonderful too to help rehabilitate the people for society!

I had a friend in prison and she did not have internet access. She barely had access to a TV.

I think it depends on the prison/state. I know somebody in New York that is serving some time and he is not allowed to use a computer at all.

I'm pretty sure they don't. They get a ration of stamps and envelopes to send letters home. If they had internet access, then they could just e-mail. But this is Texas, so it could b different elsewhere.

I believe their not allowed to do that since the very reason their in there is to depict them from society. The only thing their allowed to have is occasional visits, phone calls, and packages
