Maxim-security prisoner, Colin Gunn, has been able to intimidate his enemies by sending messages via his social networking site, presumably via a mobile phone smuggled into the prison.
Crime bosses would theoretically be able to mastermind hits and heists from the comfort of their cells, seen most iconically in 1969's movie The Italian Job where Mr Bridger (Noël Coward) directed the traffic from inside.
Presumably the prison authorities will be confiscating mobiles from now on. And registering a Facebook site while in jail may soon constitute grounds for extending inmates' sentences.
