Is there a Federal Law that says inmates in county jails get cable Tv?

No, but because WOMEN have been voted into Leadership positions(House and Senate) they FEEL that those people that have violated everyone Else's rights need to be comfortable in there incarceration. I don't have Cable TV, but Those A***oles DEFINITELY DESERVE THAT PERK. AND WE SHOULD BOW DOWN AND PAY FOR THEIR POOR SUFFERING!

Of all the people I know in prison, not one of them has ever mentioned being able to use a computer with Internet. They can use computers' to write letters and practice typing skills, play games but that's about it. Unless they are granted special privelages to go online but then I would believe they would be watched awful close. Real close.

The County Jail is nearly always under the heading of the County Sheriff or you can call the county clerk and get the information there.

Sorry Inmates but I feel That prisoners are in jail for crimes committed: Why is it that we have to keep them entertained by using computers that have access to cause more harm.This also gives way to much access to outside connections from the lives that they affected before going into correctional facilities. I'm sure that there are a lot of other people can benefit from use of computers that just can't afford them. That is why we have JAILS right;;;

Such laws are set by local (usually county or city) governments, so the answer would depend.

Dang Girl!! Don't go to jail to find out!!! Many Prisons and even County Jails get Federal Funding to operate. So, there should be something. Reason most have no smoking, it a Federal Thing. Contact the Department of Community Corrections for Kansas, should be something under Blue pages State or Federal. They should be required to provide you with this information.

You would have to call the jail or the sheriff's office.

Yes. Eventhough we have the freedom off press, the government is allowed to "regualte" our tv programs. That's where the FCC comes in.

To the best of my knowledge its not. At least not in the state of FL. I don't see that the law about the way a jail treats its inmates would be much different. I was recently incarcerated at the Escambia County Jail in Pensacola, FL. We were allowed outside though for several hours a day. You could always contact the local district attorney or even a lawyer in private practice and ask them. Good luck, sorry for who ever is in jail.

it depends on the jail.

Check to see if the laws of your state allow service by certified mail or publication in a newspaper.  If not, it will cost you about $40 to have the county sheriff serve the documents for you at the prison.  \n\nIf you want more assistance, look up the "court services bureau" of the county sheriff's office where the prision is located and pose your question to them.

Most states have a department of corrections website.

They do not have inmate information online, yet.\n\nMany states differentiate between those in prison (state correctional facilities) vs. those in county correctional centers.  A state who is sentenced to a county correctional facility will not be listed in a search of inmates in corrections custody.

Comming from Chicago Illinois. As a former US marshal, I drove many a federal prisoner to the Wackenhutt Corectional Facility at 218 S. Laredo, in San Antonio. They hold inmates for the federal system and other nearby over crouded jails. However, it is rarely used by the Bexar county Sheriffs department... Any other questions, please let me know!
