Re: Inmate E-Mail (someone guessed right)

That's what snail mail is for, visitation days. Poor kids yes, but
ultimately maybe they learn not to be like mom, or dad who's in jail. I
highly doubt (while perhaps possible) that familial contact would actually
be an impetus for going straight, a support group perhaps, but a reason, not
likely. It's far more likely that lack of familial contact is an underlying
cause of the incarceration.
 
Do the crime, do the time, but now with more amenities, luxury, and Email!
And when you come back for your second tour, your account will still exist!
No need to sign up again, any credits your girlfriend, or partners in crime
have purchased for you remain valid! Don't forget to have them buy more
credits! Second incarcerations are generally longer remember! 

This is incarceration for profit, or profit from the incarcerated.

It lets you keep in touch with your family, your lawyer, etc.  Especially if
there's children involved, you really don't want to be punishing the
innocent kids by removing the parent entirely from their life.  Also, if the
inmate becomes estranged from his/her family due to lack of contact, that's
one less reason for them to go straight when they get released.
