CALL TO ACTION!!
Call or email Todd Ishee and Brandie today with a sense of urgency and concern regarding the new mail process that has been implemented, which involves sending mail to TextBehind for scanning and subsequent delivery to incarcerated individuals via tablets. While we understand the need for security measures and the importance of modernizing communication channels, we wish to address the financial burden this places on the families of those who are incarcerated.
It is with great empathy that we bring to your attention the struggles faced by these families, who are already grappling with the emotional and financial challenges of having a loved one in prison. The additional expense of utilizing the TextBehind service, coupled with the cost of educational classes on the tablets, further exacerbates their already strained circumstances.
