1) Most US states and Canadian provinces prohibit internet access to prisoners. Nevertheless, it happened that smart phones were (illegally) found in prisons and that prisoners were able to communicate via the Internet despite the regulation.
2) But several US states allow internet access to detainees:
Some prisons let inmates connect with tablets
Proponents say allowing inmates to use tablets will help reintegrate them into society and keep them from returning to jail.
Ohio became the latest state last month to allow inmates to purchase and use mini-tablet computers while incarcerated — a controversial move intended to better connect those in jail with their families and friends on the outside.
At least six other states, including North Dakota and Georgia, permit the practice, which proponents say will deepen prisoners' ties to their communities and keep them in sync with modern technology.

3) Even if a State allows access to the internet (for inmates), it will not allow access to all types of websites...
4) What is the probability that Donny Pauling come again on this board while in jail? ;)
