Why Liberals Are Not Capable Of Governing

The only tablets the inmates should have

This moron liberal politician (oxymoron?) obviously is going after the criminal vote.
From the Baltimore Sun:
Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler pushed a novel solution Monday for closing what he called the "revolving door" of ex-offenders returning to prisons.
Give inmates tablet computers.
As Gansler envisions it, the proposal would help offenders build both education credentials and social support before they leave prison.
The gubernatorial hopeful says the wireless devices would replace brick-and-mortar libraries and classrooms in the state's prison system, providing each inmate with an Android tablet that could connect with e-books, the state's library system, law resources and online learning programs.
They would also allow limited — and monitored — email access, so inmates could connect with family members.
"It has to work," Gansler said. "It's common sense that it will work."
The tablet idea is one element of Gansler's 10-part proposal for integrating former inmates into communities. Statistics show that roughly half of the offenders who are released will return to the state's prison system within three years.
Gansler, who presented his plan in Baltimore at the latest in a series of meetings outlining his platform for governor, called the state's approach to re-entry a "policy mess."
The Android proposal drew concern from some in the corrections world, particularly in light of the recent federal indictment of a dozen Baltimore City Detention Center guards, who are accused of smuggling in cell phones to help the Black Guerrilla Family gang run a drug ring.
"There's a lot of challenges with providing Internet access to inmates," said Nancy G. La Vigne, director of the Justice Policy Center at the Urban Institute. "There's a real concern — I think a valid one — that access to the outside can threaten both inmates and staff.

It has to work?  Seriously, it has to work?
How about the inmates learn the basics of reading, writing and math before they go onto more complex education.  Most inmates don't have a high school education, much less any college.  Many dropped out way before they became seniors in high school.
And I would love to have a tablet or lap top or some kind of computer that is worth a couple of hundred of dollars.  If you live in Maryland, and you didn't have a tablet, you think the State of Maryland would give you one for free?  Well, the AG doesn't think you are worthy enough but inmates who committed vicious are entitled to one.
Just another reason why liberals are not capable of governing.
