Oddly enough I eventually found myself in short proximity to one of the hackers the FBI had paid me to track down. So it was that none other than Kevin Mitnick was in the very same prison as I. It soon came to my attention that he was on another floor of the institution and coincidentally enough, was in the cell almost di rectly below mine. Needless t o say, Mitnick and I soon found ourselves chatting away through the airduct. Good question , maybe he should ask the U.S. Attorney. Over time I crossed paths with numerous hackers and hacker wannabes.
Prison is an environment that is thin on intellectual stimulation.
It's a different situation when you're in prison with someone. It inspires an odd comradery. I can safely say I would never work a c ase against any of the hackers I met in prison. Our paths had crossed before and so they would again at M.D.C. Jeremy came through twice, and on his second visit he became my cellie in my two-man room. He was ju st passing through, off to face charges of cell phone fraud in New Jersey.
