I am just learning about this project and I think it is an extremely unique idea that could solve real-world problems. I'm glad to see someone is tackling the hidden fees associated with deposits/transfers to inmate financial accounts. That is costing families (who may likely be in poverty) a considerable amount of money. What will the fees be for Cellblocks transfers?

From inmate to inmate transfers, it will be right around .5% and that fee will go directly to the state. When meeting with the Department of corrections last week, they seen how much money they could make. Basically, they could circulate tokens to inmates who choose to accept them and pay much less out in cash to the inmates. Remember, on average an inmate makes .10 to .15 an hour.

Will there be any way for inmates to earn cellblocks tokens? I think giving them opportunities to earn tokens could be really cool, but I'm not sure if that is an option.

My family is full of correctional officers. You can say it's the the bloodline. They are in Most are in California and some are in Florida. One of my uncles was over having pizza and beer one day and we were talking about bitcoin and he said it would be cool if there was a token for inmates and bingo. The rest of the night I was like, yea, that would be cool haha
Having a more open and honest financial system within our prisons would be a great way to begin reforming the prison system. I think this is a pretty great idea if you can get enough of them on board. Do you guys have a background in corrections, or you just saw an opportunity from the tech perspective?

I see that Q3 there will be inmate apps and interfaces that will undergo development. Could you explain what these apps/interfaces are?

Great question vascrs11,
There is no real usage for people who are not in prison except appreciation. This is a unique thing, with over 1400 tokens out there all in one way or another has a general use for the normal person, this token could corner the market for the prison system. We are the only token to go after a 2 million person market.
The prison system will not have a need for 3-4 or even 5 tokens, only one is enough. So as CellBlocks starts going from state to state, it will truly change the way payments are done in the prison system. This is a revolutionary change for the prison system.
As more and more prisons start accepting CellBlocks, the value of the token should be noticed.

I think the project has an original idea and the team has done a lot of research, I have a question though. What will be the usage of the token for your investors?

Its pretty simple if you ask me. Its in their presentation doc. I work in the prison system and I totally see the savings. I guess you have to understand the system to get it. But what they claim in the following statement is a true statement.
See the costs and compare the fees associated with sending $50.00.
JPay $6.95
Access Corrections $6.95
CellBlocks $0.24
What does all this mean? At the current rates, CellBlocks can send an
average of $6.71 per transaction back to the state if CellBlocks is set
up to charge the same fee per transaction. With an average of 5,000
monthly transactions from third-party vendors, this can give the state
revenue to the tune of $34,750 per month on average.
Furthermore, this fee structure will be built into the tokens’ smart
contracts and paid to the state in real time.

From our business model, there is a way we can save the prisons or better yet, the state that runs the prisons tens of thousands each month. By the letters from some of the wardens we have, they can see the value of what we are going to do. Also, this meeting would not be taking place if they feel this is not something that can change the prison system. This meeting is with the top people in the state prison system.
Will you please explain how prisoners currently receive funds and how your business model will save them and the state tens of thousands each month?

I am sorry, this image was taken when the site was being built, It has been updated. Thanks for pointing this out.
Would you mind responding to this??
This is very confusing! The total supply on the website is 250mil coins. Here it says 150Mil?? What is it? Also 7mil hard cap but the website lists 10mil. So which one is that?
Also, why your telegram is full of spams and no active admins? all those 30k ppl joined only for a reason of free airdops. There is no project discussion at all.

2 Million inmates, outdated monetary system, no completion and starting to get the support of wardens. Sounds like a winner to us. A problem and solution.
Prison?Are you crazy?
This thread looks like a troll, to be honest, prison system must be a secret, not an open-sourced and public like other blockchain project. This project looks fishy and scam.

The need to get senior prison officials and prisoners to get the benefits of digital money, but the downside is obvious, is that it's going to fluctuate a lot, and I think that's going to require further communication. I do not understand the concept of this project. Do prisoners buy anything i think all their needs are being provided by the government. Also the government regulate whatever the inmates of the prison do or want to do. I am at a loss on this project.
