re: #211 Obdicut

My wife’s cousin was just in jail for a stint, and it made me mad all over again about the way we treat prisoners. He sent us a letter, and it really, really looked like the prison had opened it and read it.

I can understand, though still disagree with, a policy of reading incoming mail for prisoners. But reading outgoing mail— except in very specific circumstances like a mob boss— that’s, to me, a significant violation of rights.

Uh..My highschool/college read all incoming and outgoing mail, even to our parents. They didn’t think to open the USPS laundry mailers.
