Prison isn’t set up for today’s tech so we have to do legal work the old way


The antiquated technology we use hinders our ability to work with our lawyers and file appeals.

The only way to access flash drives from our lawyers is to request permission to review the material in a special, private section of our law library. Inside New Jersey State Prison, it’s like 1985, where we rely on out-of-date word processors, electric typewriters and floppy disks that are going extinct in the free world. We could use restricted laptops (without internet), or maybe even our electronic tablets, to review and work on legal documents without having to wait days for law library access.
