ONE of Britain’s most dangerous gangsters has been using Facebook to threaten and intimidate his enemies from a maximum security prison.

Colin Gunn, an underworld godfather who ordered the execution of two grandparents, has been able to correspond freely with up to 565 “friends” on the social networking site for the past two months.

Gunn, a “double-A” category inmate who is serving a 35-year sentence for conspiracy to murder, is said to be still running his drugs and organised crime cartel from jail. He claims he was allowed to set up a Facebook account by prison governors, suggesting it was his legal right.  (Read more.)

B.S. Report–I can’t quite figure out how an inmate would have a legal right to use Facebook.  Humane treatment while in prison seems to me to be the only “right” an inmate is entitled to. That is, unless, of course,  he’s a member of al-Qaeda–they’re entitled to just about anything…

And isn't it insane to allow hard-core criminals access to computers?
