Jail cam: pre-existing surveillance cameras in the pre-detention facility: live-feed inside the facility that people could log on and watch (broadcasted for awhile) ***these 3 things have affected the cultural status of prison punishment*** Crime and punishment as commodities can be bought and owned.
