It is a fact that prisoners that have open communication with their family members are less likely to return to a life of crime after leaving the prison institution. Regular communication between an inmate and their family promotes successful reentry into a crime free lifestyle. Therefore, prison communication between inmates and family members should be a top priority in the prison system. Certainly, this includes sending and receiving mail along with telephone communications to prisoners. However, the inmates in Maricopa County jails feel completely isolated from family members. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is the man that decided to place a few restrictions on prisoner communications. Other sheriffs around the country are also following his example.
