Email for Inmates?

State considers e-mail access for inmates
Messages that would be screened for security could be swapped with a limited list of outsiders.

Prison may be one of the last places without easy access to e-mail, but Iowa inmates could be checking their messages in the future.

The Iowa Department of Corrections is studying a plan to install sophisticated software to provide a tightly restricted version of e-mail for the 8,900 convicts in the state's prison system.

Inmates could swap e-mail messages with a limited list of relatives and friends, and the software would screen the communications for any hint of trouble, said Fred Scaletta, a prison spokesman.

Convicts would not be allowed to carry BlackBerry wireless devices or Apple iPhones to receive their e-mail. Instead, they would use surplus government computers in designated prison areas where e-mail use would be supervised, Scaletta said.
