In Fall 2019 we will no longer be allowed to send \/ receive email from anyone not on our approved visitation list. There is now a spot for email address on the approval form. I just think that is TMI! What has that to do with the rehab of the offenders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not everyone has a visitor to begin with. I say that it&#8217;s a crude way to taint our reconciliation with society. Shout out comrade Shine White (N.C.). This isn&#8217;t just taking place in your state. In GA our trust funds have been restricted for more than 10 yrs. from family and friends. But now the through the commissioner&#8217;s office we are being barred from a simply electronic letter. With people who love us, care about us and support us with pics, videograms and words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this tactic excels I&#8217;ll go from 7 to 2 contacts. I&#8217;m indignant because my birth cousin who helps me with communication between my sick mother won&#8217;t be able to contact me anymore. In a world of modern technology snail mail is being becoming obsolete. Some offenders communicate with their child mothers, lawyers, cousins, school buddies, etc. through email. Do we see significance in this??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I spoke with a JPay rep and asked why the video visits become restricted to &#8220;approved visitors&#8221; only? Why aren&#8217;t we allowed pics of our wives\/significant others in negligee? Why family\/friends can&#8217;t fund our media account directly from the web? He said, quote &#8220;\u2026All of these things are accessible in other states; but the GA DOC are the ones restricting us\u2026&#8221; unquote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, Mister commissioner, why do you and your board of directors oppress us in this manner? Family\/friends please contact the commissioner&#8217;s office and urge them to stop the madness!! For the welfare of the offender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commissioner Timothy C.
