Most prison libraries allow inmates to use computers (word processing, very BASIC internet access). I know I'm generalizing here, but many inmates lack the educational foundation to effectively take advantage of these resources.
I am all for access to information and stuff, but I can't see a legitimate reason for an inmate to have email. I mean, theoretically they're in prison to rehabilitate themselves... so maybe an email account for job apps? or an email for when they send ridiculous research requests to the county libraries?
I just don't see any GOOD coming from this and i definitely would hate to be on the administrative end of this nightmare.
