I remember watching an episode of Lockup and realizing, hey, plenty of these imprisoned criminals are really clever -- they just use it for horrible purposes, like building makeshift knives to stab each other.
From what I've seen (in documentaries and the show lockup raw) violent offenders will try to harm the families of prison personnel and others by sending and receiving orders. It's a real problem. It's not as easy as restricting access from just these people because they can force other inmates with Internet access to do their bidding.
Its possible that lower security prisoners can be treated differently.
