Hi, this is Raymond Jenkins, from Corcoran State Prison. And this story is about the tablets.
Tablets kill. And what that mean is the tablets that we have in the prison system that was issued to us, April 2023. I just have got notice from information from the prisoners that you can be looked up; a prisoner can look you on the tablet to find out what you are in prison for. I didn’t know that, until I found out.
The problem is that you have some young men that doesn’t appreciate different crimes. And you are putting – so based on a tablet – it’s putting people are in danger and in harm’s way. A person can get hurt, based on what somebody looks up they name in the tablet, and found out they crime. This, this should never be able to be happened.
This should be blocked from the tablet, where no prisoner being able to look up any prisoner, why they in prison. It doesn’t make any sense. I think it’s absurd that when I heard, and that it do goes on.
People doesn’t know about the prison system, they just hear a little bit about the news. And the only time you hear what goes on in the prison if something really really happened in the prison system where the media or the news get involved. This, this is a going on thing, this is new. And it needs to be dealt with and addressed as soon as possible.
I have also filed paper to see could we get that program blocked from the tablet so no person will be able to have access to why they are in prison. Can’t do anything about the people out there in the community out there. Because if it’s free, you can do that you can look up somebody in the community. But, being in prison you shouldn’t, another prisoner should not be able to look up another prisoner and find out what what’s the angle, or why are they in prison?
I’m surprised that the United States has allowed that. I think we own our own past when we think privacy. And any prisoners have the right to have privacy while they doing they time. Give nobody the right to invade they privacy like that. And I am going to ask the Sacramento and the court to block any information on a prisoner why he’s doing time from another prisoner that can pull his information.
