State Prison Keys Sold on eBay
The key to getting out of Anamosa State Penitentiary actually may be a key — one or two that prison officials fear may have been sold on eBay.
Prison officials just paid $6,000 to have the outer locks changed in the Iowa maximum security men’s prison that houses 1,289 inmates. Fred Scaletta, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Corrections told InformationWeek that changing the locks was a precautionary measure because they’re not sure if the keys sold on the popular online auction site were actually for the prison.
But they certainly could be, so prison officials weren’t going to take any chances.
