Most veteran corrections officials might balk at the idea of sitting an inmate in front of an internet connection. Now, the Alaska Department of Corrections (DOC) is improving security, and reducing costs – while providing inmates with access to the legal records the law requires.
Before implementing a digital legal system, the Alaska DOC conducted numerous security searches, often turning up hollowed-out legal volumes that were used to hold contraband. Inmates would also write notes to each other on the pages of the volumes, passing information along that was also a potential breach of security. Law Libraries Go Digital in Alaska has the rest.
