The NSW government has refused to rule out introducing legislation that would ban Facebook profiles being created on behalf of NSW prisoners.
The Corrective Services Minister, Phil Costa, said he would seek to have prisoners' profiles removed from Facebook after revelations on this site that inmates of SuperMax, where the worst criminals are kept, have a presence on the social media website.
Family and friends are believed to manage the profiles, helping inmates to stay in touch with the outside world.
The opposition said the government and prison authorities would be embarrassed by the online profiles and possible security breaches but conceded that laws to police postings would be difficult to put in place.
