alt Hacker NewsOhio prison inmates 'built computers and hid them in ceiling' (2017)

Excellent lateral thinking, and result driven mindset. I’m not being sarcastic either
Nearly a decade old story now
I wonder if the those articles are from textfiles.com?
Free roam games in a prison would be highly praised, even if they were dumb Pokémon roms or really old GTA releases.
Or just give them long gamebooks -not necesarily fantasy themed- a la CYOA but with pencils and erasers (and, yes, they can be turned into a weapon, but inmates will use for paperwork or prison classes anyway).
Some of them allow you to roam under a whole city and solve enigmas/puzzles and fight.
> Investigators found software, pornography and articles about making drugs and explosives on the machines.
I mean… yes, obviously, if you look on a computer you're gonna find software.
Boredom and time breeds creativity.
This makes me wonder if people might be getting Starlink Minis smuggled in by corrupt guards.
Just give them computers already...
What is with this BS idea of medieval jail conditions...

Creative.. someone should hire this guy when or if he gets out.
When they throw me in prison for being trans and supporting Palestine, expect a new version of this article lol
That's some fine problem solving, albeit not the problems the prison wanted to be solved.
I sometimes wonder if these sorts of people who "succeed" in these odd ways on the wrong side of the criminal fence, would have had rather successful careers had just a couple of things gone differently towards the start of their life.
