Change can be affected in many ways. Can't believe people on the literature board would defend charging prisoners to read, but I guess it comes down to muh edgy and inflexible "rule of law" or whatever. Access to education significantly reduces recidivism. If you want convicts to be functional citizens when they get out (instead of just going back to being criminals), they have to be able to read and learn while they're in prison.

Reading is objectively not a basic human right, and neither are medical care or education.

What the hell do they teach people "rights" mean now? Here's what a Right is: If the government didn't exist, you'd still have it. Everything else is a privilege.

Government ceases to exist? Well, I can say anything I want, worship whatever I want, and carry a gun wherever I want. Ergo I have a RIGHT to freedom of speech, freedom of worship and freedom to bear arms.

Our compact with government is that we submit to governance in return for RECOGNITION and protection of these rights. We submit to the rule of law, but we are guaranteed the right to speak, the right to worship, the right to keep and bear arms, we are guaranteed a right to a trial by our peers, a right to privacy, etc etc.

But when you start demanding that the state pay you just for existing--provide you with education, healthcare, reading materials, whatever, while those are good and desirable things and I am not saying that we shouldn't have them, they are OBJECTIVELY not rights, and no amount of repetition or lying on the matter will change that.

Let's do the math on this.
To buy a hard copy of the sort of books I'd want to read on 30 cents an hour, I would have to clock about 80 hours of work and spend none of that on commissary.
For the same price as the book, at 5 cents a minute, I would get 8 hours of reading out of this program - again, spending nothing on commissary for 2 or 3 weeks.
It depends on the book, but I don't like the sound of having only 8 hours to read them.
But ultimately I don't think the 5 cents a minute reading rate is the main point at which these prisoners are getting shafted. The 30 cents an hour is.
Part of the blame is on having a private prison system with companies trying to maximise their profit margin.
The other part of the blame is on the prisoners landing up in that system in the first place.

This is actually laudable. Libraries have been garage-selling and pulping classics for a long time now.

Prison is pretty fucking silly. If someone didn't do something bad enough that they should be executed immediately, locking them up in a cage for years isn't going to help anything. Just beat the absolute fuck out of criminals and humiliate them publicly. Break a couple limbs. What's the point of keeping them locked up? To keep them away from society so they don't commit more crimes? Exile them. It's cruel and unusual to keep people locked away for years and years. It doesn't solve any problems.

This program pays for itself. The alternative isn't letting them use these kindles for free, its no kindles at all. And if the kindles are scarce, then that means that only the people who value them at more than $3 an hour will read them. Charging people for scarce luxuries makes poor people have less of them, but it also means that sometimes someone who really needs it will get it instead of someone who only kind of wants it.

Let's "unpack" this, shall we?

88 percent of the US prison population is housed in state prisons (1,274,600 people). 37.5% of that state prison population is black. Bailing out every drug prisoner tomorrow would get you down to 37% - a half a percentage point reduction. That's your "epidemic", your "New Jim Crow" (by the way, it's a terrible analogy because slavery could only dream of having the widespread support of the black community that tough-on-crime policies have).

Multiple analyses and meta-analyses prove that large racial disparities in criminal offending, not racism, explains why more blacks are in prison proportionate to whites and for longer terms (a 1987 analysis of Georgia felony convictions found that blacks frequently received disproportionately *lenient* punishment, a finding which has been replicated numerous times including in a 1994 Justice Department survey of felony cases from the country's 75 largest urban areas which showed that blacks actually had a lower chance of prosecution following a felony than did whites and were less likely to be found guilty at trial. To the extent that they receive harsher prison sentences upon conviction, this is almost always a reflection of their prior records or of the gravity of their offense - minority violent crimes routinely exhibit levels of depravity generally reserved for the most sociopathic white criminals, a fact often left out of crime statistics).

60% of those in prison for rape or sexual assault do less than two years. If we freed everyone from prison tomorrow except the 25% who are in on murder, manslaughter and sexual assault, the US would STILL have an incarceration rate higher than that of almost every European country.

According to FBI uniform crime data from 2018, of the 11,514 homicide offenders whose race is known, 55% were black (remember, they constitute 13% of the population).

The staggering declines in violent crime during the 80s and 90s correlated directly with rising incarceration rates. For each year after 1991 until 2000, crime dropped consistently in every region of the US - rural as well as urban, rich neighborhoods as well as poor. By 2000 most serious crime rates had dropped by more than 35%. This is literally the only public benefit of the 1990s where the poor and disadvantaged were greater beneficiaries than the rich - impoverished minority males benefited from less risk of both victimization and offense.
