 "30 Deathrow Convicts Socialize on MySpace")
In a surprising discovery, profile pages of 30 Texas death row prison inmates have been found on popular social networking site, MySpace. The inmates have detailed their personalities, likes and dislikes, on their profile pages, just like other members on the site. Crime victim advocates are now voicing concerns over these pages created and maintained for convicted criminals, particularly murderers, and is asking the site to reconsider publishing them. Andy Kahan, a crime victim advocate, has sent an email to Myspace authorities, to that effect.
The inmates have been sending letters, journal entries or blog entries to friends and family, who create the pages and post their writings for them, since the Texas inmates do not have Internet access. Due to a loophole in the law, inmates have now started publicizing their cases on the web, for public support, and the judiciary has not been able to do anything about it.
However, MySpace officials have not responded to Kahan’s e-mail yet, so it is unclear whether they will have the pages removed.
