Internet in Prison: Pros and Cons

Originally presented Wednesday, January 7, 2008, by Melissa Gilbert of Washington State Library at Coyote Ridge Corrections Center. 

Internet access is a hot button in prison because of the potential for predatory, white collar criminal, and other dangerous activities. And yet, prison programming is designed to help incarcerated people prepare for success post-release. The internet has the potential to support both harmful and positive goals. Is there a way to balance the priority of safety with reintegration goals? Join Melisa Gilbert of Coyote Ridge Correctional Center (WA) as she presents and facilitates a conversation on the multiple points of view on this controversial issue.
