Convicted killer boasts on Facebook
This young gentleman could be adding you as a friend on facebook as he changes his status update from his prison cell.
A convicted killer has boasted on Facebook that being in jail is like being on holiday.
Ashley Graham, 27, even put up a picture of himself on the social networking website ‘relaxing’ in his cell.
Graham is serving life at HMP Lindholme in South Yorkshire for stabbing a man through the heart.
But he manages to access Facebook every day by using a mobile phone that was smuggled in to the jail.
In one update he wrote: ‘HMP Holiday’s a place where men can come for a nice relaxin break from their moanin women and crying kids. No stress just rest.’
Astonishingly his friends on the social networking site agreed, the Sun reported.
Graeme Crockett replied: ‘Loving the status. Could do wid a nice relaxing break in HMP Ranby or Sunbury again.’
Graham even got messages from a woman claiming to be his wife.
On January 25, Emma Campbell Graham, wrote: ‘Hi hubbi. Been a while since I put some loving on your wall. Wifee is missing you. Not to long til I am in your arms baby. Love you x.’
Graham was jailed after killing Roy Henry in February 2001 when he tried to stop him and an accomplice entering a café to attack another man.
HMP Lindholme has a games room, TV room with DVDs and an activities centre for computer classes.
The Prison Service said inmates were not allowed to use the internet or mobile phones and officials are now investigating.
It is not the first time that criminals have been caught using Facebook, which is supposed to be family friendly.
Last month the family of murder victim Tony Harrington were outraged after discovering his killer ran a Facebook page from Ford Open Prison in West Sussex.
Andrew McVicar, 25, was serving a life sentence for ramming a broken bottle in the 19-year-old’s jugular vein on Christmas Eve 1998.
And earlier this month it was revealed that hundreds of British drug dealers had infiltrated the site in a bid to attract new victims.
Gangs have set up special groups aimed at encouraging people who join to start smoking super-strong ‘skunk’ cannabis.
One was labeled Smoke Weed Everyday and included several messages by users interested in buying the drug.
