There was an AP story yesterday about how several states are using prisoners to input data about traffic accidents and such into databases. I believe the state that they focused on was Arkansas. An attorney received a phone call that his SSN was being sold by prisoners that had gotten it from an accident report. The state allows people to use their SSN as their drivers license number. This prisoners also have access to everything else on the report, your license number, your home address and potentially your work and home phone number. Does anybody know what other states are using prisoners for this type of work? I'm about ready to cut up all my credit cards and start paying cash for everything that I buy.
