Securus Technologies says a “technical glitch” last week caused the deletion of Chris Blackwell and other Washington prisoners' writings. Some lost entire book chapters. The company offered compensation of two e-stamps—a value of less than $1. Chris reports with @ethanscorey.bsky.social.

Two e-stamps are $ 0.46 in the state of Washington, not including sales tax.
Unfortunately, unlike the free market outside of prisons, the incarcerated can't just choose to use another service. The recent crackdown from the FCC has also changed a lot of the prices.
