HOUSTON — It’s supposed to be punishment, and a place where criminals can think about what they’ve done. So why have some inmates been able to watch porn in jail? It’s been a problem that finally got solved at the Liberty County Jail. Comcast cable has now placed a scrambling device on the signal coming into the jail. They tell us that should keep inmates from being able to access anything inappropriate.
Inmates have been able to access Cinemax, which bills itself as the best in “adult TV.” It was among the channels accessed for more than two months by inmates inside the Liberty County Jail.
“Some of those channels obviously did have some type of pornographic shows or material that were on them,” said Capt. Rex Evans with the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office.
