    Sick !
    Why are inmates given the opportunity to commit more crimes from prison..... Shouldn't they be kept from the public anyway ????

    He probably rigged it up when he was bored from watching taxpayer funded cable tv,eating 3 meals a day, taking some college credit coarses or bulking up lifting weights while in "prison".

    Ok, maybe I'm just naive, but I thought all outgoing and incoming mail was screened in prisons. When I worked at a Junvenile Detention Center in Oregon, all mail was screened. Maybe this is something that needs to be done to protect everyone!!!

    I thought the same thing as well Debbie, but they said that they only screen the mail that is bulky or has an imcomplete return address on it. Looks to me after this they will (or should) be screening all of it!!)
