Communication Monopoly and How it Divides Us
Manage episode 396237329 series 3417941
Twelve years ago, the landscape of prison communication was a different beast entirely, one we've navigated through personal upheaval and systemic change. Through the last decade and a half we've remained steadfast in dissecting the transition from physical mail to costly digital barriers that keep loved ones at arm's length. This week on Lockdown to Legacy, we're peeling back the complex layers of this evolution, from the dawn of MP3 players to today's tablet-based systems. We don't just recount the journey; we expose the monopolization by service providers that's resulted in steep costs and untold frustration for families nationwide, and the governmental kickbacks that make it all possible.
As we navigate the murky waters of JPay, GTL, and CoreLinks, we're sharing our personal experiences with their various platforms and the struggles we've faced across state lines. It's a tale of financial exploitation and privacy challenges behind bars – illuminated through our discussion on the impact of non-compete clauses and lack of provider competition. We invite you to join us, not just as listeners, but as advocates for change in a system that too often prioritizes profit over people. Together, we dissect the intricacies of these challenging times, advocating for a fairer and more transparent communication system for those who are incarcerated and their loved ones on the outside.
