When my loved one was transferred from a maximum security prison to Fox Lake Correctional Institution, a medium security facility, we thought things would look up. He worked so hard to achieve this reclassification, but instead, we found that this new environment posed different challenges. The phone queues at Fox Lake are unbelievably long, the time for each call frustratingly short, causing much stress and angst as we all wait to connect.

Providing the inmates at Fox Lake with the new tablets can make a huge difference. It will allow them to communicate more effectively with their loved ones, reducing the strain placed on the phone system and rectifying much of the tension. This is not an untested idea; several correctional institutions have already incorporated technology in a drive to make the system more humane and efficient. 

This isn't just about providing a commodity but about promoting rehabilitation and preserving an inmate's connection to their loved ones and the wider world. Let's push for the Department of Corrections to supply new tablets to the inmates at Fox Lake Correctional Institution. Sign this petition and help make a meaningful change.
