The truth about programmers

Today (June 12, 1997) the New York Times carried a story about a  direct
marketing outfit that contracted prison inmates to process consumer
records. Some prisonners used the information to harass customers and
after a public outcry the company switched to alternative source of
labor. 

The article quotes John Benestante, director of Texas state prison
industries, "We lost some damn good programmers -- pedophiles... Some of
our best computer operatives were sex offenders."
