California taxpayers unknowingly funding prison tablet porn under Newsom
California under Gavin Newsom has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on electronic tablets for prisoners, all in the name of rehab, connection, and digital equity.That sounds nice on paper, the kind of language that makes bureaucrats nod like they just solved civilization. But the real-world result, according to reports, is a mess that has taxpayers shaking their heads again.
Instead of a clean success story, the state appears to have handed out high-tech toys to convicted criminals while ordinary Californians keep paying more and getting less.
Reports say inmates found the obvious use fast...PORN.
Fox 11 in Los Angeles reported that some death row inmates have used the tablets to watch pornography and carry on lewd conversations. One inmate, Robert Maury, a serial rapist and murderer, allegedly said he used his taxpayer-funded tablet to view porn and send nude images.
Others reportedly used video chat tools to get someone on the outside to play porn on a television for them. If you were hoping the system would be used for algebra homework and polite book clubs, well, that dream lasted about five minutes.
Criminals with free electronics apparently did what criminals do when given a loophole and a screen.
