Summary:

This week, I will walk you through JPay, which is one of the major prison vendors for communications, banking, and entertainment. JPay, like Corrlinks and Getting Out, allows friends and family of inmates to send and receive email messages, videos, and photos through a special, heavily monitored network, which is very different than email services like Google and Apple to which you and I are accustomed. I’ll share with you what that means in terms of your privacy (spoiler: you have none) and I also want to spend some quality time talking about DOC rules and what I learned from Dan encouraging me to bend and break the rules. Finally, I’ll read a selection of JPay messages, including the ones where Dan introduces me to Leon, his brother and cellmate, and plants the seeds of his “multimedia business” idea.
