Inmates "Like" Using Facebook to Intimidate Victims

Posted:
FRESNO, Calif. (KMPH) -

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation says more inmates are using social networking sites like Facebook to harass their victims and accusers.

CDCR officials say inmates are doing this by using smartphones smuggled into prisons and jails.

California has a law giving people up to six months in jail for smuggling phones into state prisons.

Inmates caught with the phones can lose up to 180 days of early-release credit, but no additional time is added to their sentence.
