Maybe life between four walls is not so bad if you have access to all the friends of Facebook, but now prisoners in California were on the effort - Facebook Kaliforniskoto in collaboration with department of rehabilitation will begin to close their accounts while in prison. Prisoners often fail to keep their Facebook profiles by smuggled or smartphone with the help of their friends, relatives or associates of the "gang" out of prison. Only Kaliforniskoto rehabilitation department confiscated 7,284 cell phones in the first six months of this year.
However, the real reason for this prohibition lies in the abuse of this right by an inmate who was accused of molestation of children. A prisoner who was locked for seven years, managed through Facebook and MySpace profiles to reach the picture of the now 17-year-old his victim to draw and sent to her home. California Senate condemned this action and announced as stringent law that prohibits the smuggling of inmate phone, and the fine would be $ 5,000 and up to six months in jail. Secretary of the Department of corrections, Matthew Cate in a statement posted on the website of the prison said: "Access to social media allows prisoners to escape our observation process and continue with their criminal activities." But here there is a moral dilemma - if Facebook has replaced the written letter as a standard way of communicating the prisoners with their families and friends, why the first to be banned? Normally that prison is no place for fun, but for many people Facebook is a way to stay in touch. Sending pictures of abused children is wrong, but if the prisoner wished to speak with his mother or to see photos of newborn son, the state should allow. What do you think?
