    One of the ways they do it in some of the jails or prison is having the guards bring it in, the same for cell phones, and stupid stuff..

    Why should they even get mail?

      They’re pre-trial detainees- not convicted of any crime. Innocent until proven guilty- that’s why they get mail. Moron.

      Its constitutional to get mail why do u get mail and they have banned all paper they can't get books lawyer letters pictures from family no paper that is unconstitutional the county is going to get sued not everybody does drugs if they cantfind the drugs and who is doing it and bringing them in that's there problem they shouldn't be able to ban paper that's crazy

    If they were to ban guns, how can anyone honestly think that'll keep them out of criminal hands, when they can't even keep banned drugs out of the jails and prisons? All they can do is slow it down. At least guns give law abiding folks a fighting chance if they want it.

      @A Florida Son that mentality is why there is always goanna be mass shootings and gun crimes I know u are from Florida every criminal was once a law abiding citizen before he committed his first crime and many of these mass shootings where they are running in schools killing 30 kids and in malls and everywhere in Texas all of those people had legal guns and hadn't committed crimes before.. I will admit that in amerikkka it is 2 late to even try and ban guns because they have it in the constitution the right to bear arms and guns are everywhere u cannot after all these years try and ban guns... but if you go to england or the UK where guns have always been illegal and banned they don't have a gun problem they don't have mass shootings or hardly any shootings at all they have stabbings a lot of stabbings but they have single stabbings you cant really do a mass stabbing without people seeing it and running away... they don't have a gun problem at all the shocking thing that will surprise you is that's guns are so much not a issue in the UK that the police don't even carry guns only night sticks tazers pepper spray and hand cuffs the police don't kill people and people rarely kill police and that is mainly because they aren't holding or using guns... and the UK has neighborhoods that are just as bad as amerikkka and just as impoverished

    I've been in and out of jail and IDOC
    I literally can't believe this is actually controversial what did you people think we were doing 🤯 I've received her birthday cards dipped in PCP lbvs 🤣🤣 it's either that or over the gate through yard time, very rarely you get a guard that's willing to bring it in for some money but even then you still have to use older sealing devices and other special containers hidden like coffee mugs or packs of cigarettes (unopened) because even the officers get checked on their way in

      @Robbie A i know what they are smoking in the county they are not doing dope or pills I really don't want to expose anything online because the cos and police be watching but what they are doing doesn't have fetanyl but what they are doing can be deadly I've seen people die and come back to life and had person die but not everybody is doing it so punishing the entire county banning paper is crazy and unconstitutional so inmates can't even read books get letters from lawyers pictures of family ect how can they ban all paper

  • @tylerkinley268
    @tylerkinley268 Год назад

    Many prisons allow a certain amount of drug use to keep the inmates somewhat sedated and content. I'm sure jails do the same. Honestly, it's like smoking use to be, and again it helped control inmates. Let's open the dispensaries in some prisons.

    Why is America so outdated with everything when we have the technology.
    They want to read mail and cards? Anything thats a piece of paper, scan as a PDF and reprint it for them to read. You'd spend less time doing that than attempting to open envelopes all day that you ultimately toss out anyways.
