o.k some one please help me. my hubby from jail is now in sussex 1 he wrote said he would like a t.v o.k I THOUGHT!! HE SAID ITS 198.00 now i'm thinking no way is it that much my goodness is it a flat screen with d.v.d ? see he used to drink and I'm worried now that maybe he's back on it Does anyone know how much a t.v is back there ? thanks

Unfortunately, that sounds about right. They charge them an arm and a leg for everything.:angry: Our family had to get together money for G's tv and it was right at two hundred dollars. And no... it definitely is not a flat screen with a DVD:mad: .

i called the prison and they had one that was 198.68 i was happy to know he wasnt fibbing to me.

yes he was ever so right as i have said so many times they are taking advantage of the family, my friend has a tv it is about 4 or 5 inches and he paid about 200.00 for it and he went thier in 2003 in the spring and now the tv is not working right so his mother has sent him another 225.00 for another tv talking about ripoff but they have to have it it is to sad we all need to stand together about all of this i am so sick of it it isn't funny someone needs to do something its our money the system keeps taking

No. He is serious, my boyfriend sent me the form that they use to fill out when they want to go to canteen. The tv is only a five inch tv too!
They are outrageous with the prices that they charge. They have black and white and color 5 inch tvs.
No DVD/VCR, just a regular 5 inch tv that you can go to walmart and get for 40 dollars.

he is correct!!!!!!

That's about right for a small color t.v. But if they get black and white it's much cheaper about $60 - $75. That's what my husband got because he wanted to be able to watch what he wanted on his bed. AND he understood that I didn't have $200.00 to send for the LUXURY of a 5 inch color t.v. rip off.

what other things are they able to get on canteen. my boyfriend was just transferred and hasn't been able to send me anything yet.

Too Much.... I Paid $220 For The New 7 Inch @ Wrsp For My Nephew. For My Son I Paid $196 For The 5 Inch Older Model.
It's Ridiculous. The Commonwealth Should Never, Ever Go Broke. We Are The Back Bones And The Victims As Well. God Knows, I Didn't Raise My Son Or Nephew To Become Convicts, Yet Here They Are And Here We Are The Families Carrying The Burden That The State Refuses To Bare, Yet, Ever Time I Turn Around, I Hear Someone Saying That Their Tax Dollars Goes Towards Their Incarceration. I Wish Someone Will Tell Me How? If This Is The Case, Then Both My Tax Dollars, Plus My Personal Dollars Are Paying.
I Don't Condone My Son Or Nephews Actions. However, I Don't Condone The Commonwealth Crimes Either. It's Plain Out Robbery And They Mci, Keefe, And Vadoc Are All Getting Away With It. It Makes Me Sick, However, My Son And Nephew Sanity And Survival Through This Madness Must Come First And Foremost.
Question: Does Anyone Know If Keefe Is A Stock Market Company? If So, Why Not Purchase Shares And Profit Back On Them!!! The Same For Mci??? Or Better Yet, All The Products That Our Love Ones Are Purchasing In The Commissary. We Can't Beat Them. So Let's Go Around Them.
If Anyone Is Experience In Investment, Finances, Please Help Us!!! The Families That Are Being Victimized By Our Own Government. Especially, Since Now They Have Gotten Over On The Debit Telephone System Due To One Word Technicality "may"... They Have Chosen The Pre-parid Version As The Cheaper Rate??????
Thank's For Letting Me Vent...
