Very Cool You kill somebody Get Sent To Jail and Then Taunt The Victims Familys

It has emerged that thirty prisoners' Facebook pages have been taken down because they were being used to taunt victims.

Justice Secretary Jack Straw said he approached the site three weeks ago to address the issue and requested the pages were removed within 48 hours.

Mr Straw said the Government would also be looking at other measures to prevent inmates from accessing web pages and abusing their victims.

He continued: "We're looking at other ways in which we can raise the stakes against prisoners who seek to use these sites. It's unlawful, it's against prison rules which is the law."

Mr Straw said officials are considering a change in parole rules and the rules for prisoners released on temporary licence, "to make it explicit that even if they're outside prison, but if they are on licence, they can't make use of sites in this way".

The move follows several incidents in which criminals have reportedly used the social networking site to communicate with conspirators and ridicule their victims.

A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "We will not hesitate to refer to the police any published material that appears to cause harassment, alarm or distress".

It was on the news that some of the prisoners were murderers

"Mr Straw met with Margaret and Barry Mizen, the parents of teenager Jimmy Mizen who was murdered at a bakery in south-east London in May 2008, and Richard Taylor, the father of 10-year-old schoolboy Damilola Taylor, who was killed in a north Peckham estate in November 2001."
