flag Idaho jail replaces phones and mail with tablets, offering free content and limited video visits, funded by inmate fees.

flag Nez Perce County jail in Idaho has launched a tablet system by Texas-based CTEL, replacing physical mail and traditional phones. flag Inmates access free content like books and mental health resources, plus 40 minutes of weekly video visitation, with additional time costing five cents per minute. flag Texting costs 10 cents for 150 characters. flag The system reduces contraband risks and improves inmate quality of life, with inmate fees funding the program and some funds used to buy hygiene items. flag While jail officials report reduced staff stress, public defenders worry about affordability for indigent inmates and potential privacy breaches in non-legal communications, though attorney-client messages are not monitored.
