Can prisoners have books? Can't they have computers? Why?
The article is just whining by someone who tried to escape his prison sentence for two years and after getting caught (and then bragging about destroying evidence) is shocked that the system treats him as not being very trustworthy.

The argument I alluded to is that there is an internally consistent viewpoint in which the government action at hand is genuinely corrupt and supporting crony capitalism. In this worldview, one that I think there's a strong chance that Sunde adheres to, he's not being whiney, he's taking rational actions.
