Yes, for use in prisons, where inmates are not allowed computer or internet access. Swintec makes clear plastic ones so prisoners can't hide contraband in them, or disassemble them for use as improvised weapons.

Yes they are still in use by some authors who use typewriters for their books. In developing countries these are also still used in some government offices and court houses. But computers are fast replacing these. - Neeraj Sharma

Apparently, yes. In February 2012, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg defended the City's expenditure of several thousand dollars for new typewriters, saying that despite popular belief, typewriters are still necessary for some uses, are still manufactured and sold and some people still use them.
