Incidentally, 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


Hmmm! 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.
