Recently I visited an old friend who works in a women's prison, and I asked how covid had affected her workplace. She told me in many ways covid has brought the whole prison system into the 21st century. Computers etc, and Skype and Zoom were used for inmates to chat to family to replace family visits while in lockdown. One plus is they can now chat whenever they want. They can supervise their child doing homework etc. It also means kids can play a sport on the weekends instead of visiting parents in prison every weekend.
She said one woman came away from a zoom session in tears, and my friend asked what was wrong, and she replied that it was all okay, she was okay, it was just that it was the first time she'd seen her dog in 3 years.
