Why not require jail management to setup a sort of halfway house that introduce a short course in digital tech advances & usages ( including the tehcnology of cellular phone )? These can help freed jailbirds to acclimatize to the new environments & help them get used to the old world they are familiar before.

I'm referring to a short course of 2~4days duration only, prior to convicts release.. sort of a halfway-house procedure or orientation!

Hmm, the records thingy got to be reform too! That had to rhyme with the changing times!!!

When folks went to jail & released due to good behaviours or by merits and if he got back to free society and did self-rehabs or finished a degree studiously... Society had to give him some sort of encouragement or achievement recognitions! Prison records can be in parity with post-jail achievements.. simply EXPUNGE the convicts' records via ladderized crediting system ~ the likes of how some country gave graded credits for immigrants who wish to enter its country & trying to apply for citizenships!!

~ READ THIS, Politicians! ๐Ÿง You folks LOVE brownie points, no?! ๐Ÿคจ THAT ONE is a hugh brownie point to begin with!!!

That guy with just a 5-yrs prison term might be a lazy-bone or a dimwitted one. But at least the authorities should give options for them to have a fighting chances once they step out of their cells! A chance on rehabs, a chance for a new quality of life!

As for the hurdles in designing such programs (or instructional booklets; schema).. just make it K.I.S.S! Just instruct the *Most BASIC" in order for inmates to know the operational HowTo of cell phones, what to LookFor/Expect when signals are down to 1bar; how does sms work; attachment HowTo - if applicable, etc.. etc.

I used to edit/revise operating manuals on full-pledged branch's IT Room operations of a major int'l bank w/c are done originally in English but had to be revised for adaptation to local operating environments which is Chinese in nature. I remember revising some specifics ala-Infograph (drawings graphs piecharts flowcharts or pasted Polaroid shots, etc).. w/c is easier for local staffs to comprehend! That was almost 20yrs ago, when infograph doesn't exist in dictionary yet! ๐Ÿ˜„ Lolz!

Whatever are in existence, it has to be reviewed & reformed for it to comply with changing societal environments! Jail Management can not just go on implementing mini-courses without phasing with society's ever changing trends huh.

Well, when one's out of contact w/ the outside world for even only 365days & all of the sudden.. you're back in the same place but in a different time span.. you just goes blank for at least sometime. It's very different when one goes normal thru the decade & found things to be different.. he can catch up with what's missing!

I would rather gave this former convict.. the benefit of a doubt. Rather than dismissing him outright.

What a dud! Mebe a short sylabus for them in learning how to use those classic cell phone for a start... Which is more concise than PCs and more restricting! Lol, let's see how they browse those short candy bar phone for porn! But they need to communicate, therefore they will be forced to learn or be left along.
