Are pay-per-view video chats in prisons and jails a valuable link between inmates and their families, a circumvention of the incarceration-as-punishment principle, or another example of money talks? [Details - link]?

Rapid spread of for-profit, pay-per-view systems monetizes contact between detainees and their families.

Honestly, my mind skips from “cool” to “outrageous!” on this one, and that’s the reason for the question.
There should be a lot of room for good discussion here.
