You're also sensibly supportive of the idea of internet access for educational/rehabilitation purposes in a restricted manner and a pirvilage rather than a right, which can be removed upon bad behaviour inside.
That about cover it?
Sounds sensible to me.

I agree that any mothods used to turn around a criminal early on before they become a career criminal is a good idea. On the other hand I feel the treatment is unfair to all the good boys and girls who have not committed a crime, but are not able to afford broadband access.
Prison is a place where someone goes as a form of punishment for their crimes, I also see little point in the benefit of email for them to apply for jobs etc.
