Very cool.
I'm curious, did the prison have any concerns about content or want
things filtered out?
I've know that some prisons don't allow reading material that is
sexual, violent, etc. Did restrictions like that have to be
considered? Obviously, most of Wikipedia is pretty mundane, but if
you look hard enough I'm sure some people might find things to object
to.

Wikipedia for prisoners – an unexpected
partnership between a swiss
prison and Wikimedia CH
Following an initiative from Emmanuel Engelhart, with the support of
Wikimedia CH
CAO, Chantal Ebongué, since March 2013, prisoners who request
can have an access to Wikipedia offline (Kiwix project). The idea is to
stimulate or to support the interest for education of prisoners who were,
for a large majority, condemned to long-time sentences.
After three months of pilot phasis, the project is successful : Among
the 36
prisoners of the Bellevue’s prison in Gorgier, 18 possess or rent a
computer. All of them requested the upload of Wikipedia offline on their
PC. For security reasons, swiss prisoners have a very restricted access to
internet.
More informations in the press releases (ENG, DE, FR, IT) that was sent
today to
the swiss media
Regards,
Charles
