That's some fine problem solving, albeit not the problems the prison wanted to be solved. I sometimes wonder if these sorts of people who "succeed" in these odd ways on the wrong side of the criminal fence, would have had rather successful careers had just a couple of things gone differently towards the start of their life.

This makes me wonder if people might be getting Starlink Minis smuggled in by corrupt guards.
