New York, NY expands inmate tablet program

The New York City Department of Correction is expanding its inmate tablet program to provide individuals in custody with information and resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. The tablets are useful tools for improving inmate behaviors, offering college preparation classes, and replacing in-person visits during the pandemic. The city has over 1,000 tablets in circulation so nearly every inmate has access except for those in restrictive housing, new admissions, and asymptomatic COVID-19 units.
