Welcome aboard mate.
Those prisoners have internet access?
I've been thinking there are a lot of guys who get parole and have nothing to come out for.
A solid stake in our supportive community would offer a bit of extra income while inside, and a way to ease back into society while keeping themselves busy.

Hey!
no, they don't have internet access. the poor blighters are strictly on a media diet of free-to-air TV... worst part of the punishment, perhaps. Not least because it closes them off to opportunities like this, using Steemit, as you describe.
Whenever possible, I mention the potential of Crypto investments to them, as an alternative to burglaries, for example, once they're out. And I'll definitely add some Steemit spiel in there from now on!
What a wasted opportunity. If the goal is to give them something to stay out for, they need the chance to lay some foundations while they're in.
Do you know why they're not permitted internet access?
Is it a funding thing, or are there concerns around potential inappropriate usage?
definitely the latter, matt, on any and all levels - communications, access to inappropriate materials, etc.
Yeah, it sucks - and that lack of laying foundations for outside, while inside, is a common theme, unfortunately.
