      They don’t have access to an inmate’s finances. But it may be against a prison’s policy for an inmate to go into certain contracts. This is dependent on the inmate’s conviction and each prison system. The prison also doesn’t allow any privacy so running a business while in prison will be picked up and disciplinary action will be taken. The prison is supposed to protect the public from the inmate so it would look really bad if an inmate is running a business from prison. It can be a threat to the public and prison if they are able to control outside money from prison because then they could continue to commit crimes.

      So yeah I warden doesn’t have access to things like bank accounts or brokerage accounts but they control all forms of communication.

        Where do you live? It’s as if you have literally no idea what you are talking about on any kind of level. Seriously you’re just incorrect.

          Where the hell do you live? Not gonna give up my address to you but I’m in America.

          I know people who’ve been to prison. I’ve made those phone calls with them to handle finances. You say I’m wrong but won’t say how. It’s a fact that they monitor every phone call an inmate makes. It’s a fact that inmates cannot give consent and thus cannot enter into contracts, something that running a business needs. They would have to do everything through someone legally representing them, typically a lawyer, and that’s no guarantee that their representation would do thing that are illegal for them. The prison IS supposed to protect the public from the inmates, that’s why they have guards. So how am I wrong?
