I've seen those SecureView sets (both color and B&W) along with clear portable radio/cassettes in various prison documentaries I've seen, so they are definitely used in prison cells. The clear plastic cases are required to prevent inmates hiding contraband inside them (at least according to the documentary).
I googled SecureView last time these sets were discussed here and found quite a few posts on family-of-inmate type support boards bitching about the costs of these sets (supposedly $200+) and delays in getting them repaired.
I don't think our prisons have the same clear case requirement. The documentaries I've seen about our prison show inmates with ordinary TVs and radios in their cells. So I don't think I'll be seeing any (color or B&W) locally.
We did see translucent cases on everything from cheap 14" TVs, boomboxes and even irons (!) for a while after the first iMacs came out.
