[QUOTE="donna723, post: 219878, member: 1883"] All that money (if he has any left) won't do him much good once he's in there because they're only allowed to keep a bare minimum of certain things in their cell anyway. In our system, we have a list of things they CAN have and everything else they CAN'T. And most prisons have a TV system of sorts (when they're watching TV they're usually not getting in to trouble!) and they or their families have to buy the TVs. They have to buy special models through mail order - the case has to be clear plastic so they can't hide things in them. There's companies that manufacture this stuff specifically for prisons. The institution has a central receiver and each cell has hookups, but they can only get the local network channels - no ESPN, no HBO, no MTV - none of the goodies! This is the kind of system that just about every prison has. And about having things 'smuggled in' by employees - it does happen but it's very rare, especially in a high security unit. And they work on three different shifts and different days off ... so even if the third shift guy managed to get something in to the inmate, the first or second shift guy would find it! Then the third shift guy would lose his job and the inmate would lose whatever privileges he had - including the TV! Doesn't happen very often! [/QUOTE]
