I’m glad WAR (Vicki) and ACLU are taking umbrage with this barbaric practice. First there’s the privacy concern. While I was incarcerated at a Floriduh prison, NONE of my mail EVER arrived open. I understood they read only what went out while the incoming mail was x-rayed and sniffed by dogs. Secondly, the money grab is just another in a long line of schemes by FDOC and their family/cronie owned business partners to make profit off inmates (free forced labor, overpriced Keefe commissary) and their families (fees for everything), while feeding inmates slop (Aramark), substandard medical and dental care, and offering no rehabilitation, education, or skill training.

Orange county went to video visitation years ago saying it was for facility security. However they failed to mention at the time it also made the visits easier to monitor and record and by doing so made them subject to public records laws who wants to bet electronically copied letters fall under the same category.

Does anyone need more proof that our prison system in Florida and all over the USA is nothing but an industry geared to exploit the inmates and their families?? You’re living in a police state people. Please open your eyes and realize this. And we wonder where the yellow vest protests came from!!

During my 3 years in Incarceration I was blessed to have a large number of people that wrote on a regular basis. “Mail Call” was a daily excitement for many of us. I think that the SCSO is going to create more problems than they’ll solve by stopping mail. As far as the video visitation, unfortunately that’s a common practice with a lot of Florida counties.

This has been going on at the Brevard County Jail for quite awhile now.

Somehow, someway, this is an invasion of privacy. Those “video chats” police can edit/manipulate to pursue charges on non-existent crimes.
They tried that with my first Public Defender (video) and he told them to stuff it; that the discussion between him & me was private and NOT subject to “Invasion of privacy/ police monitoring confidential attorney/client privilege”.
They begrudgingly set up a face to face meeting between us. (Lawyer & myself)

The prosecution was PISSED and tried to say that, the interview was “discovery” and they were entitled to a copy of the recording.
The judge told the prosecution to pound sand.
