Keywords "had been"...  I don't think the 'active' prisoners were on
Facebook.. just previous prisoners, obviously previous guests of the prison
he worked at otherwise I don't think it would merit a news article.

Sorry, just had to note that before the thread got waaaay off kilter.

The probe failed to find any evidence of smuggling but discovered that

with 13 criminals online.

Seven of the "friends" had been in prison for murder, drugs offences,
fraud, affray and theft,
according to The Sun newspaper."

What he was thinking??

You mean prisoners have facebook?

"On IRC men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents."

That was not on my risk analysis allowing my kids to facebook.
(hypothetically).
