A private company is selling cheap tablets to inmates to let them communicate with their family. They have to use "digital stamps" to send messages, 35 cents a piece and come in packs of 5, 10 or 20. Each stamp covers up to 20,000 characters or one single image.
They also sell songs, at $1.99 a piece, and some people have spent thousands over the years. That's also now just going away.
Then you get to the part about the new company. Who already has a system in Tennessee where inmates have to pay 3-5 cents per minute of tablet usage. Be that watching a movie they've bought or just typing a message.
They sabotaged themselves years ago by squashing popular votes with an algorithm, so a large amount of people don't realize the size of the site.
You can go look at recent popular tweets and see 200k reactions, meanwhile the top posts on reddit show 10-30k votes, despite having 2-50 times as many behind the scenes.
