I have a far off request. I remember reading a good long read quite some time ago.
It was of a hacker that was sent to prison, I think federal prison.
He goes into a lot of detail about how life is inside there and how you have to behave, I remember him advising to fight for your stuff even though you're going to lose since if not you'll become "their bitches" or something of the sort.
If I remember correctly (might be far off) the website was mainly black and orange.
He also mixes in his experience with drugs, I think psychedelic mushrooms or so.
I was quite a long article but quite catching, by any chance anyone remembers what I'm talking about?
I read it at least 3, 4 or 5 years ago.

- Trufa 13y agoHmmm! I'm not quite sure, I remember reading this a long time ago also, but now re-reading this, I'm not 100% sure this was it, very much of the kind mind you. Thanks a lot. I will re-read it all again and maybe some part rings a bell.
- clamprecht 13y agoIncidentally, I was in prison with Agent Steal when he wrote that article. It's pretty accurate from what I remember. We were in FCI Bastrop (I was there from '95 through '99), and we were absolutely not allowed anywhere near a computer. At one point I had a "good" job working in the Unicor factory, which would have paid me $200/month after a while (good money for prison). But they fired me when they discovered I had a web page. Apparently they thought I had set up the web page from within the prison. As a side note, Agent Steal (Justin Peterson) died somewhat mysteriously in his apartment a few years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Tanner_Petersen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Tanner_Petersen

- Trufa 13y agoYes! Yes! Yes! I don't even have to read it! That's the orange and black I was talking about! You can't imagine for how long I actually thought about it without no many ways of actually looking for it. Thanks a bunch!
