Prison Tweets are a Must for Celebrities
Monday, November 23 
One way to maintain your social networking skills while incarcerated is to keep up to date by Tweeting from prison:
As is often the case with Twitter, screenwriter Roger Avary recently tweeted about what he had for lunch. It was soy, which, an acquaintance told him, contains a dangerous substance intended to shrink their genitals and reduce their sex drives.
I can testify to that. What used to be called "saltpeter" is, in fact, used in prisons to make you less horny. The antitode to that used to be pictues of Cindy Crawford. I don't know what they use now.
The Avary tweets are truly intense. On Saturday, he reported the facility being locked down due to an inmate sneaking in heroin. On Sunday, he said a "sickness" has been spreading throughout the compound, which "#34" (what he has been calling himself since being locked up) is "helpless to avoid."
All of Avary's tweets have come between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Some on Twitter believe he has regular computer access. The majority of his messages were sent via a Web browser, but a couple came through Twitterrific, an application for the Mac and iPhone -- it's unclear which device he's using.
The U.S. Senate has been looking into passing a nationwide ban on cellphones in prison using service jammers.
I think he's posting from a computer, or he's having someone "Tweet" for him over the web. He could be calling someone up on the regular prison phone or he could be posting from a computer inside of the prison. Now, does that make it right? Probably not. But how are you going to keep a human being from his social networking regimen?
