CO is a sanctuary state and super liberal and turning into the next california.

8,000 Colorado inmates have free computer tablets — but cost of texts, calls and streaming media adds up – The Denver Post

may 9 2017 About 8,000 Colorado inmates, including Stiern, are part of a pilot program for Inspire, a program of GTL Corp. that expects to eventually deliver tablets to more than 18,000 inmates in all 20 private and public prisons in Colorado and 1.8 million people jailed across the U.S. Inspire is designed to give inmates access to a wide range of media, including educational programming, but also creates a new revenue stream for GTL, which specializes in inmate telecommunications and payment systems.

Colorado is the first state to roll out the Inspire program across all its prisons. Smaller programs were tested in county jails in Arizona and California.

Colorado Department of Corrections directors have embraced the Inspire inmate tablet program, believing that it will reduce friction between rival gangs vying for control of wall phones, occupy inmates who have a lot of time on their hands and eventually allow them to access vocational and educational programming.
 
Interesting...what is the real reason for doing this?? - MONEY.
They charge the cons for games, every text message and every phone call. The object is to make $2-$7 a month off each inmate. Do the math, the initial investment is $270 million.
1.8 million tablets earning let's say $5 a month each is $108 million a year. Annnd - if you read the article they are developing more ways to charge inmates.
Ka-ching.
