\u2022 Computers and Electronic Games
\nOffenders are not permitted to have a computer sent into the institution, nor may they purchase new computers as per CD 566-12.
\nOnly inmates who had approved computers, computer peripherals and software as authorized personal effects prior to October 2002 will be allowed to keep and maintain them. Inmates are no longer authorized to purchase or upgrade personal computers. The combined dollar value of authorized computer hardware, software, and peripherals shall not exceed $2500. Any inmate who has an authorized computer that contains a TV tuner video card must arrange to have the card removed. You may get permission for a one time transfer from your savings account to pay for this work. Any confirmed unauthorized software, hardware or illicit usage or indication of tampering with security seals will result in the permanent removal of the inmate-owned computer and peripherals. Only specifically authorized electronic games listed within CD 566-12 will be permitted. Inmates will have controlled access to CSC owned computers that are authorized for work, programs, legal needs and leisure activities located in designated areas in the minimum, medium and maximum security units.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
