Convicts Reunited was set up as a spoof site last month but since then has attracted 3,000 subscribers. A statement on the site reads: "This website is for Convicts and Ex-convicts who have either lost contact with old prison inmates or maybe looking for fellow conns for their next bank job. It ends: "Please note, this site is run by ex-convict personnel only, no part of this site was created by non-convicts so we understand your needs better." However, when pressed Mike Breach admitted that neither he nor co-founder, Chris Harvey, had spent any time behind bars. "It started off as a joke but people have been registering with us," he said. . Related Story Students hit by new reunion site
