While access to computers in some institutions can be quite limited, 
many facilities are fairly accommodating - especially for good purposes.

Might it be possible for this particular practitioner to establish an 
email connection with a warden-approved roshi for guidance regarding 
both readings and practice - perhaps even a sort of ethernet dokusan 
(although without the personal demonstration of practice) from time to time?

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this has already been done somewhere.

Y. t.,
