In one effort to deter crime via social media, Puerto Rico's Department of Correction recently
started a Twitter account (
@followtunfollow ) that allows select prisoners to tweet their experiences in jail.
The mantra of the project: "follow me to not follow me".

Alexander Nieves Andrades, who tweets as "inmate 1" says: "Some dream of being a criminal. They don't achieve it. Do you want to be a true leader? Study. That's not something they can take away."
Algunos sueñan con ser un criminal. No lo conseguiran. Quieres ser un lider de verdad? Estudia. Eso no te lo pueden quitar .@followtunfollowconfinado1
