Digital conversion of inmate mail causes huge problems and puts Texas prison mail system in crisis
Dallas Morning News Watchdog Dave Lieber shows how the Texas prison system's recent conversion to a mostly paperless postal mail setup involving digitizing letters to inmates is a giant flop.
A three-month-old system converts incoming U.S. mail for all state prisoners into a digital format. This is done at an undisclosed Dallas location.You no longer send letters, drawings and photos to the inmates. Now, all this must get sent to a Dallas post office box where it is retrieved and brought to the unknown Dallas location where the scanning takes place. Eventually, after further review at the recipient’s prison, the digital mail is delivered to inmates’ state-supplied tablets.
Securus spokeswoman Jade Trombetta released a statement saying that they provided a tablet to every state prisoner, which allows them to send and receive e-messages. Newspapers, magazines and books can get sent directly to prisons, if from the publishers. Legal mail and media mail also goes directly to prisoners.
