Define “unfettered” in this context. And I wasn’t implying that she’d be free.

  There are. Cell phones. In. Prisons. People who have never even seen a fraction of the wealth that Elizabeth Holmes defrauded people out of are able to get them. She can very well wind up on a Web3 social platform anonymously by 2027, trading crypto while funding SciHub.

    "unfettered" != "potentially available if you're willing to break the law"

      We are talking about the penitentiary here, chap.

      Pretty much single person there was willing to break the law, by definition. So if going down the slightly-less-legal route, the below story was pretty neat. A hacked together prison computer, network attached. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/04/inmates-built-computers-hidden-in-ceiling-connected-them-to-prison-network/amp/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/04/inmates-built-co...

        I am sure there are further carrots and sticks inside the prison, and of course 11 years is not life so she isn’t immune to extra punishment for more crimes.

    I think it's possible someone gets her a phone. But she can't get away with streaming or even posting selfies. She'd have to stick with texting or using pseudonyms.

From my friend who was in: they get some daily time, and all their email is monitored. I could send him mail, but it was through the prison's website, not a regular email. I imagine the web surfing they can do is fairly limited, but I didn't ask. I also found out that you can buy anything in prison, including a cell phone, or drugs. Ratting out the people who actually sell the stuff is a great way to get yourself killed.

  Holmes is not getting sent to any of the prisons featured on OITNB.
