In at least one Ohio prison, family members must put money into the inmate's account so they can order it themselves. JPay, which handles money transfers for the Ohio prison system, takes a cut on all deposits. The director of the ODRC is the former general manager of JPay. Don't you just love it when we have people that should be thrown in prison running the damn system? --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!

showed there was little actual evidence of smuggling via donated dictionaries. So there is evidence, but we want to ignore that because there isn't enough So what is this arbitrarily set amount of evidence that will convince investigators that smuggling is a problem? Hmm? Of course, that's one that will never be answered. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The fair thing to do would be to provide the inmates with access to educational books (especially law books) free of charge, but there really shouldn't be an issue with charging them for entertainment.
