So... the prisoner can "appear" in court via a tv screen, but the same can't be done for nana's funeral?

Why should they spend money and resources to give inmates privileges?

A family member with an iPad is going to cost a hell of a lot less than two armed guards.

Possibly, I don't know every exact inmates situation, I hate absolute answers to things because it takes just 1 time of being different to go from yes/no to probably/probably not

I would be cool with ipad "appearances" only for direct family funerals (parents, grandparents, kids, grandkids, siblings, and spouse -- that's where I draw the line; no aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.).

Plus, I mean, is one communal ipad for these bits really gonna cost that much?

Well, it's a sucky situation, but there are an absurd number of feasibility issues.

idk, if a first-time offender accidentally kills somebody during a brawl, I have a bit more sympathy for them than a repeat violent offender. But I want a justice system and others might prefer a vengeance system.

A quick google search suggest prisoners can request permission to visit funerals and loved ones on their death bed.

If the offender loved their family or loved ones so much, they wouldn't have disgraced them all by committing serious crimes and winding up in prison.
