but I find a sort of irony in these two stories,
the second concerns Richard Humphrey, 26, of North Ridgeville who was sent to the Lorain County prison in February for a parole violation, but previously in April, 2010, Humphrey was sentenced to 29 months in prison for selling pirated copies of movies through the subscription-based USAWAREZ.com, so it came as a bit of a shock to him when the prison itself started showing pirated DVDs to the prisoners! the Lorain County Correctional Institution acknowledged Friday that pirated movies are being shown to prisoners there, even as inmates serve time for illegally downloading movies,
a spokesperson for Lorain County Correctional Institution Warden Kimberly Clipper said prison officials are aware that pirated movies are being shown to prisoners and the issue is being investigated, but she said she couldn't comment further because the investigation is ongoing, as Richard said, 'how do you expect someone to be rehabilitated when there's authority figures that are running those institutions that are copyright infringing?' a good question indeed.
