Alonzo Hill bought his JPay tablet and content outright, using it to stay connected with family and cope with prison life — but under the new ViaPath system, those purchases are now subject to fees, restrictions, and potential loss. Hill claims inmates were misled into believing they owned their devices and content, and now faces higher costs and uncertainty. His lawsuit, citing the Fourteenth Amendment, demands he and others be allowed to keep their tablets, get full reimbursement, or have all purchased content transferred — or face damages and legal aid. As most prisons have already switched, this case could reshape how inmates’ digital rights are protected behind bars.
