A New Synonym for Evil: Securus

The company provides what is known as "Prison Skype": Expensive video chats with prisoners. A side effect is that those fuckers require jails and prisons which use their system to ban face-to-face contact between prisoners and their loved ones.

I don't think I really need to get into discussing that it will be ultimately destructive for both prisoners and their families to have their visits reduced to a version of Max Headroom.

But really, if your business model is based on exploiting people who have no other alternative to using your service, you've probably got a fire-blasted soul and a shriveled conscience to start with.

Just another good reason not to commit crimes and go to prison, IMHO.

It's not the prisoners whoa re paying those outlandish costs. It's their families.

But I realize that little distinctions such as that make no difference to some folk.
