Detainees at the Lake County jail soon will get something quite a bit more extravagant: tablet computers.

The county recently struck a deal with Texas-based Securus Technologies for 600 tablets that will be distributed to inmates for free. They can be used to make phone calls and video visits, search for jobs, research the law, and view educational and mental health materials.

Inmates also can access a limited amount of free music, games, movies and books, and buy "premium" content, including additional entertainment.
