I DONE HEARD IT ALL! WHO THE F**K IS ON FACEBOOK FROM JAIL?

Attention South Carolina inmates: Those days of updating your status on Facebook could be over.

A South Carolina state representative is introducing legislation that would extend a prisoner's stay behind bars an extra 30 days and/or have them facing a $500 fine if they are caught using the world's most popular social networking site.

Rep. Wendell Gilliard, a Democrat from the state's second largest city, Charleston, is hoping he can find enough supporters to back his bill that would make it illegal for inmates to have a profile on any social networking site while behind bars.

Under House Bill 3527, it would be “unlawful for an inmate to be a member of any Internet-based social networking website such as Facebook, Myspace, and Classmates. An inmate who joins an Internet-based social networking website or a person who establishes an account with an Internet-based social network website for an inmate is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not more than thirty days.”

Recent instances of inmate activity on Facebook have disturbed officials in the state that is rehabilitating roughly 23,000 inmates and operates 28 institutions, according to South Carolina's Department of Corrections website.

Officials are concerned that prisoners could be engaging in continued illegal activity through coded messages with the outside world or even taunting their victims. The (Charleston) Post and Courier reported that one inmate, Quincy Howard, added 100 new friends during a one-week period in January even as he serves a 30-year sentence for manslaughter. Other inmates, many serving lengthy sentences for convictions ranging from murder to kidnapping, have had their profiles taken down by Facebook.

"This is an embarrassment to South Carolina that no lawmaker should tolerate," Gilliard told The Post and Courier. "These inmates can use this to put people's lives in danger. We need to put a stop to this immediately."

It's already illegal for an inmate to communicate with the outside world via the Internet. Inmates usually update their statuses through smuggled cell phones or recruit friends and family outside of prison to help them. Under the law, accomplices who help inmates would face the same penalty as prisoners.
