Yes...?
It was literally NEVER about the money being spent by the government. Anyone who actually believed that is by dictionary definition, dumb.

A private company is selling cheap tablets to inmates to let them communicate with their family. They have to use "digital stamps" to send messages, 35 cents a piece and come in packs of 5, 10 or 20. Each stamp covers up to 20,000 characters or one single image.
They also sell songs, at $1.99 a piece, and some people have spent thousands over the years. That's also now just going away.
Then you get to the part about the new company. Who already has a system in Tennessee where inmates have to pay 3-5 cents per minute of tablet usage. Be that watching a movie they've bought or just typing a message.
