As of June 1, 2007, the Missouri Department of Corrections has implemented a “Ban on the Use of the Web” policy. The state of Missouri has a population of approximately 29,900 individuals and each letter is informing them of the ban and telling inmates that it is their responsibility to ensure that any postings on the websites are removed. The letter also informed that any hotel found to have advertisements will be published in violation of the lease.
Missouri cited fraud as the reason for this ban, apparently a number of inmates are using Pen-Pal ads as a way to prey on a few unsuspecting people, although reports from some Pen-Pal sites refer very few to those in prison. Complaints about the state as most familiar with those who correspond. I myself have a Pen-pal who was in prison and we were great friends for years, he never asked me for anything more than my friendship. Although the ban on the use of the web is used to protect the public, it also becomes a tool to punish them even further in prison.
One case of Missouri adopting the inmate training act is Byron Case, a youth convicted in June 2002 of murder and armed criminal action for the 1997 slaying of Anastasia WitbolsFeugen. since he was convinced that Byron’s family and friends had tried to raise awareness of this incident in the hope of restoring Byron’s freedom. . Byron was convicted solely on the testimony of his aggravated girlfriend, with no DNA or physical evidence linking Byron to this crime.
Byron is a classic example of how the Ban can be used maliciously to target not only an inmate, but also his family members, the original Byron style uses DOC rules to punish Byron, not for. of the crime with which he was accused, but for simply not paying attention to an emotionally unstable young man.
Byron Cases Lovers used the social networking site My-space and Face book as a medium to direct people to Byron’s website freebyroncase.com and inform people about Byron’s website, neither of these sites contained Byron’s contact information nor had he used it as his go-to public media. Byron. These sites are supported and maintained by the beloved Byron simply as a support tool.
When the Missouri DOC implemented a ban on Byron’s style pal ads on a style ad he owned on the website friends across the wall.com, which according to DOC rules Byron was removed, however, in recent months things have taken a sinister turn. with the my-space subsidiary page being deleted several times and hence a constant supply of anti Byron pages popping up and disappearing no less than quickly. supporters of the Byron Case, where he was subjected to constant abuse, and the personal pages of those who defended Byron were deleted en masse.
Byron’s group of young Australian supporters were attacked almost daily by Byron’s stalker, with attacks ranging from personal attacks to abuse of young Australians. , because Byron did not return his feelings and only wanted to be friends.
Recently, the Missouri DOC received a complaint about Byron Case’s pages on a fraudulent social assistance site. The complaint alleged that the pages were in direct violation of the Internet Use Ban. ,.
Official violations include multiple counts of fraud and disobeying a directive to cease all Internet activities, the penalty for which was Byron losing his Honors dorm status and being moved to a housing unit that is on lockdown for 22 1/2 hours a day; placed on 10 days of confinement and 30 days of activity restrictions (which included suspension. telephone privileges and recreation from the cell) Although Byron himself did not have full responsibility in the pages and dear Byron, this has no bearing on the punishment Byron received.
Shortly after Byron’s family was punished, friends and supporters were again subjected to the attacks of this unstable individual, when a new page emerged with the words “MEN” boldly displayed on it, Byron’s friends were once again deleted by the deleted pages. without warning or explanation, and then Bryon became the target’s mother.

Tell Byron that his punishments are Don’s kindness. I was happy to hear that I felt the urge. I make him regret betraying me. I wished him my help, my mercy, my friendship, and how did he repay me? With betrayal. I will do everything in my power to make him suffer for his betrayal.
I am an excellent friend, but a wicked enemy.
so what was Byron’s treason? he was honest and said in his own style that he did not want a relationship with him, he was honest in saying that he only wanted a platonic friendship. and this honor in Byron and those who care and love him.
When we believe that society is in prison, those who help them must go mad and the inmates are the last group that its ok to mock and attack. If this happened to someone outside of us as a society, we would be outraged, but since Byron Case is in prison, we accept this behavior from this predatory species. those who are in prison have families, friends and lovers, and are also grieving when this kind of thing happens, and there the loved one is separated from the outsiders.
