At the Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility near Ypsilanti, in southeastern Michigan, 205 Edovo tablets are available for the 2,100 women incarcerated there. Nearly 900 of the women have registered accounts on Edovo tablets, said Tony Costello, assistant education manager for the Michigan Department of Corrections. The prison’s tablet users have racked up 140,000 hours of “productive” time — time spent on education or personal development, not just listening to music or watching movies or playing games. That’s an average of 159 hours per account holder since the tablets were introduced in mid-2017.
