Ohio Prison Shows Pirated Movies To Inmates 186
An anonymous reader writes "Richard Humphrey was sentenced to 29 months in prison for selling pirated copies of movies through the subscription-based USAWAREZ.com. He was later sent to the Lorain County prison in February for a parole violation and while he was a prisoner, he says guards showed inmates Ride Along and The Wolf of Wall Street before they were released on DVD. A spokesperson for Lorain County Correctional Institution Warden Kimberly Clipper said prison officials are aware that pirated movies are being shown to prisoners and the issue is being investigated. But she said she couldn't comment further because the investigation is ongoing."

Is The Wolf of Wall Street the kind of movie you should be showing prisoners anyways?

If you want violent felons to have any hope of being rehabilitated, you need to show them what true criminals look like.

Just don't show them the pirate movie "cutthroat island" ( http://business.time.com/2012/... [time.com] .) After all, cruel and unusual punishment is unconstitutional!
