You should definately tell the gamers that there are
prisoners playing in the game. Why? Many, many times
I have seen prisoners run scams and cons to cheat/hurt
unsuspecting citizens.
Strongly disagree. Anyone can run a scam, whether or
not he's incarcerated. If you know an ME-PBM player
who wants to give away lots of money, please have him
write to me at the above address.
Not all prisoners present a pernicious threat to the
public. In the U.S., you can now face 20 years in
prison for standing up in the last 30 minutes of a
flight to the Olympics.
We're in no position to manage anyone else's rights;
it's up to the prison to decide who can contact the
outside world. If you think prisoners aren't being
sufficiently screened or monitored, write your
representative and get on with the game.
Clint, I suggest you include at the front of the House
Rules a privacy policy, reminding players that they
should should choose the level of contact with which
they are most comfortable.

RD: AM I missing something here? If a person is sent to jail, they have
been convicted of a crime. Part of the punishment is being deprived of
their liberty. That also means the liberty to communicate freely with
members of the outside world. Therefore it is debatable, both legally and
morally, whether prisoners should be given access to email in the first
place.
Given that prisoners DO have access to email, it is Harle's duty to notify
their players which games these guys are playing in.
Sure, scams and burglaries are carried out by people not currently in
prison, but Harle don't know who they are, so cannot tell their players. If
they DO know that prospective players are prisoners, Harle has a duty to
notify players so that they can avoid such games or at least take such
precautions as they wish.
Richard.
