Was that written on one of the tablets they give you in jail that you have to pay a fortune for?
Jail give you tablets now?!?!
Shitty ones. If you want to pay for them.

Incidentally, a lot of prisons give prisoners free tablets now. But people in jail often haven't gone to trial yet, so I guess fuck them?
Its really shitty indeed, It's so shitty I don't think it can even run 720p videos locally without stuttering, let alone YouTube/Netflix,etc., but it's only 50 bucks. (125H of work with the inmate wage of 0.40$/H 🤯 )
I thought that since it's for inmates, they gonna try to rake up the price and sell it for like 300$ or more. Of course, they still can make big money on their back by making anything and everything a subscription. Want to watch a movie or play a game? It's 20$ an hour.

Lol.
Those costs may seem ridiculous and petty, but also remember that prisoners do not have to be paid minimum wage. They often make only a few dollars an hour.
So that 20 dollar rental for the tablet may be an entire days work. Every email exchange a half hours work.
The people doing this belong in jail.
Oh, I know those costs aren't nothing. I live in a country with a minimum wage of 150$/month.
