If you're insinuating that the taxpayer paid for those tablets, you're wrong again. You atholes in LEO make it sound like the TDCJ is some kind of utopia. You don't have a clue.

      This person is lying. The tablets don't have "Internet" capability, they run on an "intranet". Meaning, the ENTIRE network is contained within the prison. These tablets can't access the "world wide web", only what's provided in the TIGHTLY monitored and HIGHLY restricted prison network. I don't know why this person is lying, but don't believe her.

    We need to cut funding to the bare minimum for TDCJ Inmates. We have elderly and families that can’t even eat and the state is buying tablets for convicted felons. I think all the education programs should be eliminated for these felons. The liberals have taken control of the prison system in Texas, contact your representatives and have this madness stopped.

      You must have missed something. Securus is providing the tablets for free. They do so because when inmates spend money on it for content (and they do), Securus recoups their money very quickly. And the state gets a kickback from that. So... the taxpayers aren't paying a nickel for it.

      You think they are giving these tablets as a reward? The main reason they are handing out tablets is because the state makes a percentage off of every purchase made on those tablets. They let prisoners buy movies, music, games and books on those tablets because they are making money. The department of corrections cares way more about making money, than punishing criminals.

      This is why America has the biggest prison population in the world by a landslide - short-termism mindsets and zero understanding of what prisons are supposed to achieve; yes prison is a punishment, but it’s also meant to be a place for rehabilitation.

      Prison is about rehabilitation not punishment. providing education is the best way to rehabilitate. However, These Securus tablets are predatory, charging inmates outrageous prices for simple features. ($0.25 per email for example). you will most likely see this in private prisons where Securus will split the profits with the prisons. its disgusting.

      I have the numbers and it's in the MILLIONS. The FCC stepped in a shut down their predatory phone practices, so they "gave" them a tablet. The prison phone industry has been criticized for charging high fees and profiting off of vulnerable inmates. In 2019, New York City passed a bill ensuring 21 minutes of free phone calls for all inmates in New York City jails; before the bill, the phone contract with Securus had generated $5 million in revenue for the city and $2.5 million for Securus. In Texas the profit was much higher, and the TDCJ got a sweet kick back.
