    Remember when Twitter was new, and some Egyptian activists live-tweeted their arrests from a protest/police clash? That made Twitter seem sort of important, and now here we are...

    That OJ tweet is so bogus. All LA peeps know that OJ was a Pioneer Chicken man.

    The interestingness of PrisonTweets sure to drop considerably after the Corrections Board mandates 100-character canned warning every 15 seconds stating, "This Tweet Comes From Imprisoned Inmate of the State of California Corrections System".

    I once bitched on Twitter about the skanky dude at the web cafe who surfed porn all day. Not only did said dude jump a MILE in his chair when that post went out, but two cops walked in and checked him and his monitor over a few minutes later. Sadly, he'd switched to Amazon.com or something.

    @raincoaster: are you saying both the perv and the cops follow you on twitter? i'm trying to think of all the reasons this might be, and none of them are good

    @k122n: Yes, both the cops and the perv were following me on Twitter. But only the cops show up at the Tweetups.

    if you like this, you'll also like browsing writeaprisoner.com. there's all sorts of searchable criteria (lifer? check! a poet? you bet!) and bios with pics.

    At first I felt bad about enjoying this hobby, but then I remembered they are in jail because they committed crimes, so fuck em.

    the Avary tweets are so beyond anything I've ever seen before that comparing them to Hipster Grifters and OJ is just wrong.

    Having recently spent a couple of days at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, where a few of the Vick dogs are still housed, I can only be further appalled at anyone who calls Michael Vick her "mans."

    A bed, a dry room to sleep in, three meals a day, books, tv, exercise equipment and the INTERNET. And on top of it all, taxpayers foot the bill for everything. Yay.

    Someone should make proprietary jailhouse tweet-delivering software, so you know the messages are really from the inside. These jailhouse Twitter users could be called Bird Men, and the software Alcatraz.

    Too convoluted? Or just stupid enough?

    Adrian, as the editor for Modern Correctional Officers Monthly, I'd like to discuss adapting this concept into a coffee table book.

    I wonder if she's all buff from being in "da joint" and has Serena Williams-style guns now. We should be seeing her in the February 2010 issue of Maxim on the "Who's That Girl" page, with slightly longer hair and being all Asian-fetishized for the hipster white boy market by wearing a tattoo-baring, strategically-opened-to-the-nipples kimono and holding a katana.

    Once we have universal health care her scam is useless anyway, right?
