Re: Inmate To Inmate Correspondence The saying one bad apple spoils the bunch really applies to this topic.
The penal system has a jobs to protect those on the inside as well as prevent continued criminal activity.
Often times, more so than not, when offenders are communicating by kites or letters passed from one person to another, they are in some ways carrying out hits, passing information that could be criminal information, or discussing illegal activities.
Obviously not all offenders who would like to communicate with someone they met along the way would do so in a manor to harm someone or to continue criminal activity.
There really is more of a risk to allow it, than to prohibit it. Which is why it is not allowed. So really... one bad apple spoils the bunch here.
