Tennessee inmates post FB pics of themselves partying

LIFE BEHIND bars looks like one big party for these jailbirds. And they’re not afraid to flaunt it.

More than 100 Tennessee inmates reportedly have access to the Internet, where they’re posting Facebook photos and videos of themselves surrounded by drugs, cash and piles of junk food.

“Between me and you, this is — ain’t half bad,” one inmate said in a video. Tennessee’s Department of Corrections combed through 14 state prisons after the images were discovered on social media by WSMV. Along with marijuana and a 7-inch ice pick, authorities found a total of 53 cell phones — a luxury that is banned in the state’s prison system.

Seventy inmates were disciplined following the investigation. All were convicted criminals. Some were murderers and rapists.

Their victims’ families were outraged after seeing evidence that the prisoners have the ability to communicate with the outside world through Facebook. Some of the inmates have even posted their phone numbers online so that people can give them a ring.

Michelle Elliot’s grandmother, Mary Sadler, was strangled and murdered by an inmate named Ivan Moreno.

WSMV found Moreno on Facebook, playing a guitar in his cell.

“My eyes started watering. I started shaking. I couldn't believe I could see him again,” Elliot told the news channel.

Convicted murderer Brandon White was pictured holding his phone and $200 in cash. His victim, Ryan Wright, was shot to death inside an SUV in 2009. Wright’s mother, Linda wants to know how a “menace to society” has access to social media.
