Chandra Bozelko in his article "Inmates Need Social Media. Take It From a Former Prisoner." Explains how life is hard for prisoners who have been incarcerated for some amount of time have difficulties adjusting to outside life, especially in the tech aspect. In a world where every day our technology advances, even being out of the loop for a few years can mean drastic changes in technology, like from flip phones to touchscreen. But for those who have been in prison for decades this change is horrific, and most will not understand. Social Media is now a huge part of our lives, something that is relatively new, and hard to understand from an outside perspective. Appealing greatly to Ethos, he relates with his own experiences, as he had to go through this all, also including OJ Simpson several times in the article as he recently got out, and may suffer these same pains. Pathos is very present as well, Bozelko makes you feel for these people, truly making you feel like these people deserve to be able to advance as we do, so that when they may make it out, they can assimilate. Wealth, something not everyone has, and those prisoners who don't will have an even harder time, argues Bozelko. Unfortunately, cell phones can be dangerous things to allow in prison, especially as they can be used to form dangerous plans that endanger the lives of prisoners, and prison staff. Bozelko believes the solution of this to be tablets, monitored closely by the prisons, but still usable.
