Man, this is one of the more soulless comments ive read on HN. Imagine the father who's been locked up on trumped up drug charges, now unable to get a letter from his kid.

You could only arrive at your opinion if you think that the US Justice system is fair, and that inmates aren't people. I strongly suggest you rethink this.

Imagine a Godfather locked up on accurate drug charges ordering hits on his rivals using invisible ink? Introducing a digital layer reliably prevents all kind of exploits. If the issue is innocence, you are not going to solve this with half steps, in fact an innocent guy can end up being stabbed by a razor smuggled in a postcard. If people are guilty, they are still humans but we have no reason to trust them and need to protect ourselves from their potential bad intents as much as possible.
