You can have access to technology in prison, especially if you’re in a white collar prison. There’s homies posting their cells on TikTok with big followings. You could still be right, but it’s not unheard of for prisoners to get internet access.
You made me curious. He's at Federal Correctional Institution, Terminal Island. It's a low-security federal prison. My ~3 minutes of research makes me think he doesn't.
Federal prison system
In the United States, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, an agency of the US Department of Justice, put into place a fee-based system called Trust Fund Limited Inmate Computer System (TRULINCS) on February 19, 2009. This allows inmates access to electronic messaging through e-mails. The message must be text only, and must be conducted in a secure manner between inmate and the public. Messages are subject to monitoring. Currently all institutions operated by the Bureau of Prisons have TRULINCS.
However outside of the TRULINCS program, nearly all states prohibit Internet use by inmates, severely limiting technology-based access to educational opportunities. Inmates are allowed use emails to contact lawyers if they have no family to do it for them, some states allow very limited contact to family if no funds are available through for phone services.
I could be wrong though. it's amazing how many legal loopholes there can be and Mr. #Basta is a lawyer.
Yeap. He was on MSNBC a shitton as part of the hashtag Resistance. Once the news broke that he was a criminal - MSNBC started to pretend that he didn't even exist.
Or not. Maybe they'll create a new podcast unironically called - cough - The Fake Resistance. There's always a grifting angle in present day America.
