The report of the California Performance review, called Government for the People for a Change, has been released and "Statewide Operations" recommendation 23 is to replace current legal publication purchases at jails with electronic kiosks powered by Lexisnexis's research databases. The report states that moving from $4 million in print publications to 300 kiosks would enable a savings of $1.9 million per year. Lexisnexis will apparently be providing free printing to the inmates.
The story popped up in Ohio because of the LN link, of course, and was reported by the Dayton Daily News (registration required).
