convicted of minor crimes from any real contact with families and loved ones. Some sit in jail for two and three years as their cases wend their unwieldy way through the court system.

One of the most important indicators of a better future, once their cases are dsiposed of, is contact with family and friends. I believe that this video visitation, so convenient for the county jail staffs, will prove to be a BIG mistake.
