Follow-up to 11/7/17 post: IDOC AGREES TO INSTALL LEGAL RESEARCH KIOSKS IN PRISON FACILITIES.
In response to pressures and logic, the IDOC is now planning to install kiosks which will allow prisoners to access legal "case law" (see the posting "IDAHO PRISONERS SEEK ACLU ASSISTANCE IN LAWSUIT TO OBTAIN LAW LIBRARY FACILITIES" and the accompanying email to the National and Idaho Chapters of the ACLU by Dale Shackelford in the November, 2017 Archives section of this blog). While there is no exact date for the installation and availability for these facilities, all indications are that they will be available "sooner than later" according to staff who received an email regarding the matter just before Christmas (2017). Reports are that ISCC will receive 4 such kiosks - too few for 2,200 prisoners, but certainly a start.
I would like to thank all of those who helped get this ball rolling by forwarding copies of the email and blog postings (and links) to IDOC administrators and ACLU decision-makers. Your assistance in getting this information out there and into the hands of the right people is essential in making positive changes. Special thanks go to [my] site administrator David.
I'll keep you posted on what gets done and when. DS
