   I knew of an inmate who set up a porno sight (not really a scam) from inside   
   prison without access to a computer.  When they caught him and told him his   
   activities violated State law, he sold it for more than what most of us make   
   in 5 years.....Knew of another guy who was pretty sharp with stocks.  He was   
   running his own brokerage from inside - making investments for inmates whose   
   accounts he managed.
