-- deaf prisoner allowed to use videophone to call friends
A deaf prisoner was not allowed to use videophone to chat
with his friends. The officials said he could use either

This lawsuit has been continuing for about four years
until the Fourth Circuit said he could use the videophone.
Will the court decision stand or is the battle continuing?
