That's a complete myth. And I never attempted to access anything considered to be classified government systems. I don't condone anyone causing damage in my name, or doing anything malicious in support of my plight. There are more productive ways to help me. As a hacker myself, I never intentionally damaged anything.
Most people here are content watching TV, playing pinochle, dominoes and poker.
I work on my defense 14 hours a day. The requirements mandating I can't touch a computer or cell or cordless phone are akin to telling a forger not to use a pen or paper. There is no way I can earn a living when I get out. I couldn't even work at McDonald's. All I could do is something like gardening.
