I wonder if FDOC is still going to send to confinement those who are found to have PLN in their possession. I know a lot of guys who experienced that. Maybe FDOC will back off? Naaah.

In reply to Jim.

I also seem to see, after re- reading, that the censorship issue was a loss to PLN. The court only found that PLN’s right to due process was infringed upon. I guess the court feels that prisoners don’t get to be told what their rights may be. They must either know them or research them somehow. In other words, let’s keep the prisoners as ignorant as we can.
Someone tell me if I read this wrong.

Sounds like a win….and yes unfortunately, lawsuits to make people do the right thing costs lots of money. The average person that gets screwed doesn’t have it, while the ones in power that do have it are able to do whatever the hell they want and get away with it.

I wish there was a way to punish the corrections department monetarily without punishing the prisoners with lesser services. So, the taxpayers will foot the bill and those that restricted prisoner rights will have lost nothing. Those whose decisions led to this should lose their jobs. They have demonstrated poor decision making that has infringed on people’s rights and cost the taxpayers 1.2 million dollars. This should not be allowed to happen again and by firing those who made these decisions, it will send a message to their replacements and to others in the system who may be tempted to do wrong in the future. Im sure that an employee in the private sector that cost their companies this kind of money would be searching for new employment.

In reply to Tereto. Lawsuits take money. Look at our funding meters

More lawsuits please. This nation need be taught a lesson, and maybe finally the public will open their eyes to just how corrupt it has been.

So is PLN allowed back in FL prisons? Will FAC still be placing ads?

I don’t have the least problem with burning the government up at any and every level when they operate to trample the rights of the incarcerated just because they think they can do it and get away with it. I don’t care how many millions are wasted since society seems so indifferent to the mistreatment of inmates. I say burn them up every chance that comes along and when the taxpayers get tired of their money being wasted enough to actually stand up and demand better treatment for inmates, they’ll reflect it with their votes.

If society’s willing to turn blind eyes and deaf ears to the abuses of inmates and their rights, then I’m perfectly ok with it costing them multiple millions per incident.
