Generally, state prisons do not have or do not sell electronics directly to the inmates. What normally happens is that family members will purchase such electronics from a third-party company that caters to the correctional system, to ensure that no contraband is introduced with that electronic item. Some institutions may provide the inmate with such a television at a specific given time of the year or every few years. The cost for such a system is going to be slightly higher than what you would pay for a comparable item out in the streets, due to the fact that the component has to comply with institutional requirements, for example, the TV has to have a clear casing; and there's going to be shipping involved. Generally, institutions do not allow people to bring in TVs or other equipment directly to an inmate

Do prisons differ from state to state?
I believe this answer is an easy one. While I have only personal experiece in which to base my opinoin, I'm quite certain it has to be the truth. The answer is this: prisons very within the state. The way a prison is run is ultimately up to the superintendent. Although every prison in the state of which I live is SUPPOSED to be run the same, there are several differences from food preparationto visting rules to disciplinary rules within the institution. I have my fair share of prison visitations, my dad, my brother, my husband, my in-laws..... so I do have some knowledge to base this answer on. If prisons can differ so much within one state, then it only makes sense that they would also differ from state to state.
