Senate Bill Would Let Reporters Do Job

Sponsored by:

Currently reporters must sign up as regular visitors and are barred from using wire-bound notebooks, tape recorders and cameras — although the prison provides pencil and paper. A senate bill would let journalists schedule interviews with inmates and use reporting tools.
