Having spent eight years inside, I really don't think it's as good for networking as you imagine. For a start, everyone inside is a criminal that failed, that got caught. There are almost no tech guys locked up, it's 99% drugs, sex crimes, theft, murder, guns; so whatever crime you're planning, it'll have to be something regular. I managed to use the contacts I made to become a drug dealer for a few months when I got out to make some quick cash, but that quickly died out. And anyone from inside that you would really want to hang out with (and there will not be many) will probably be someone who is really trying to go straight and not go deeper down the rabbit hole. Just my 2 pennies. Reality isn't TV.
