California Booting Inmates off Facebook

If there ’s anything worse than being in a California State Department penitentiary , it ’s not being able-bodied to see if you ’ve been track in any exposure lately . This twofold fate of repugnance is now a world for CA inmates , NBC report .

The state ’s apparently not thrilled with societal media savvy criminals , and is “ working with Facebook to shut down news report that have been update since the prisoner ’s incarceration . ” obviously , some inmate are using FB to affiance in villainous criminal natural process over the net . Like stealing WoW gold ? No ! creepy things : “ One yard bird , convicted for kid harassment , allegedly harassed his now 17 - class - erstwhile dupe by find information about her from social media sites MySpace and Facebook , draw pictures of her and send off them to her home base computer address . ” But many “ are simply updating their Facebook Page with mundane update such as ‘ Listenin 2 sum medicine tryin 2 unwind . ' ” Which really is n’t so bad at all .

How are they pulling this off ? smuggle phones , which have been elusive for cops and congress forsome meter now .

But I do wonder — if Facebook replaces the write missive as the received way for an yardbird to attain out to protagonist and make out 1 , why should the former be disallow ? I understand prison ’s not supposed to be fun , so maybe Farmville labor is n’t in the picture , but for many , Facebook is the way to stay in touch . send pervy drawings to teens is n’t fine , but if a convict wants to say hello to his female parent or see photos of his girl , surely the state could let him to do so via Facebook , perhaps with some supervision . And besides , you ca n’t hide a shank in a Facebook IM . [ NBC News ]
