Sick. Hopefully this will be the last time the PA. prisons allow a murderer alone with children

http://citizensvoice.com/news/inmate-pleads-no-contest-to-corruption-of-minors-inside-prison-1.1722359

A man was imprisoned for life for first degree murder in a PA. state prison. He found a woman to be a pen pal, who had a 4 year old and a 7 year old daughter. He convinced her to bring the children along for visits inside the prison.

It was discovered afterwards that he was molesting the girls inside the prison. This raises many questions - why was a convicted murderer allowed an unsupervised visit with two young children, who were not even his own relatives?

You've heard of the "kids for cash" scandal. Now we have "kids for inmates"?

In fact, I want to know why anyone who is in prison is having unsupervised visits. You could allow private conversation visits and still have supervision. Sorry, but I don't think that prison visits should be totally private......and especially when there are children in the picture.
