Prisoners to be given tablet computers in new trial

Prisoners to be given tablet computers in new trial Prisoners in two Sydney jails will be given tablet computers to use in their cells in a trial to reduce reoffending rates.

More than 600 tablets will be given to men and women in two separate prisons as part of a $1.5 million program to give prisoners the opportunity for self-rehabilitation.

The computers would operate through a secure network and give inmates access to literacy and numeracy sessions, cognitive behavioural therapy and access to their prison bank accounts.
