Spending time behind bars can be quite the bummer so designer Yejin Mun came up with a simple solution: the P:log. The P:log is a blogging system for prison that will help keep inmates "in the right frame of mind."
P:log was designed to be a secure, anonymous blogging system that would also allow family members and friends to identify and communicate with the inmates. The blogging system is meant to help fight loneliness while behind bars and help keep inmates sane.
