Job Opening: Godfather. Qualifications: Must Be On Facebook.

by manvblog

Okay, so, what’s up with prisons these days? Not that I’ve been in one lately, but after reading a story about how a “Godfather” was operating his crime syndicate from inside a prison in the United Kingdom via Facebook leaves me wondering… Why do prisoners get the internet? And more so, how does the prison not have a firewall or any other sort of program/application that tracks that kind of behavior?

Really?

The prison “allowed” Godfather Colin Gunn to have Facebook account access because it was his “legal right”. Uh, excuse me, but since when did those that perform ILLEGAL ACTS have any LEGAL RIGHTS in jail? Oh wait, are we talking about one of them fancy upstate, upscale rehab centers for celebrities? My bad.

Or are we too lenient on criminals? I mean, this “Godfather” wasn’t in jail for tax evasion or even jaywalking, but was in on a conspiracy to murder charge! So yes, by all means, allow him to post updates to his status for his 500+ “friends” to see, such as:

“I will be home one day and I can’t wait to look into certain people’s eyes and see the fear of me being there.”

and

“It’s good to have an outlet to let you know how I am, some of you will be in for a good slagging, some have let me down badly, and will be named and shamed, f****** rats.”

He sounds like quite the boss to me. Almost makes you want to rethink that benefit package for mobsters these days. But at least if you get caught, you can keep everybody up to date via Facebook and probably Twitter. And just when you really didn’t want to know what somebody was doing every second of their life. Can you say, watch for dropped soap?
