IHC After Dark: The crazy world of Orleans Parish Prison
“After courtroom fireworks Tuesday morning from a video depicting drug use, gunplay and beer drinking by inmates inside the Orleans Parish jail complex, and one video showing an inmate hanging out on Bourbon Street, testimony in the week-long hearing over a proposed jail reform package turned to a corrections expert who called inmate violence in the jail the worst he’s seen.”

China’s new hit TV show interviews people on death row right before they’re executed
Some people are calling it exploitation, but the production company behind ‘Interviews Before Execution’ say they’re doing a service by giving condemned inmates a chance to be heard before their voices are silenced forever. Whichever it is, the show has become a huge hit in China.

Should prisoners have the right to masturbate?
Out of all the rights that are taken away when one is put in prison, having some private special time to trigger your personal release valve is one of them. While it obviously does happen in prison, it’s not permitted. Prisoners can get in serious trouble if they’re caught, even if they’re trying to wank in discretion under the sheets. But is masturbation a right that prisoners should have?

So it turns out that hacking open prison cells remotely is fairly easy
Prison doors these days are computer-controlled, with individual doors and entire cell blocks controlled from a central hub, a hub as it turns out that is incredibly vulnerable to being hacked from the outside. Yes, potentially a hacker thousands of miles away could start a prison riot.

Daily Discussion: Anyone here been to jail? If so, what was your experience?
First off, to be clear, I’m not trying to get anyone in trouble with anyone here, I’m just curious. I’ve spent the past week watching episodes of National Geographic: Lockdown and it’s been an interesting look at life on the inside, from county lockup to women’s prison to maximum security facilities. So it made me wonder how many IHCers have been locked up and what was your experience? Feel free to comment anonymously if you want.

The latest security threats in prison: Dungeons and Dragons
There’s lots of shit to look out for in prison— homemade knives, prison wine, ass rape, gang activity, etc— but one thing that’s caused headaches for some prisons is Dungeons and Dragons. You may have heard about this last year, when a lawsuit was filed by some prisoners that had their D&D taken away from them because the prison saw the game as a threat to prison security. Just a couple days ago, the seventh circuit of the US Court of Appeals upheld the ruling in the prison’s favor, that it can ban the game if it deems it a threat and something to encourage gang activity.

Inmate gets kosher meals in jail after he claims it’s part of his Festivus religious beliefs
If you’re Jewish or Muslim in prison, you can request meals specific to your religious beliefs, and apparently if you claim that you celebrate Festivus, you can get away with it for a little while… at least one Orange County, California inmate discovered.

What it’s like to be in prison for two years
On the one hand, two years in prison, compared to what many people get seems like a drop in the bucket. But two years is plenty long enough to have one’s life disrupted and long enough to make it a vivid experience you’d never forget. One guy went to prison for two years for armed robbery, and when he got out, he makes a post on an imageboard describing his experience.

Chinese prisoner was chained so long and so tightly that flesh grew over his chains
Twenty-seven year old Zhang Chuanqiu was chained to a cow shed in 2005 after a falling out with village officials over a loan to build his house and was chained so tightly that now that he’s free, he’s got a problem: his skin grew over the chains that bound him and he risks losing his hands to infection.
