If you haven't already seen The House I Live In, I recommend watching the documentary online. It will change the way you think about drugs and the United States' prison system. The movie doesn't focus specifically on technology, but it explores the by-any-means-necessary approach to law enforcement that helps facilitate things such as the Hemisphere Project mentioned in the story.

- D9u 13y agoI recently read an article about prisoners who had cell phones from which they posted to their Facebook pages, replete with images of their drugs and snack stashes, even facilitating communications between inmates in different prisons. It was only after investigative journalists brought the situation to the attention of regulatory agencies that the prisons clamped down on the security breaches within the prisons. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/tennessee-inmates-post-photos-partying-drugs-cells-article-1.1334686 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/tennessee-inmates-post...
- vinceguidry 13y agoThey didn't clamp down on anything. All they did was make an example of them. I bet the other inmates 'helped'. They still have access to cell phones and Facebook, they just are more careful now about this sort of stupidity.
