What kind of world do we live in when even the prison escapees have MySpace accounts?
The Times of London is running a story on Farah Damji, a former magazine editor in jail for theft. In the latest twist, Damji received a day pass out of prison and decided she really didn’t feel like going back. What’s a modern absconder to do?
Blog it! On MySpace!
“It seems I am the cause for great consternation because I have apparently absconded.’ I don’t think you can call it that, Damji wrote on her blog. The Times has more:
On Tuesday, in an entry entitled Sea Air, she wrote of how much she was enjoying not being in prison. Its so peaceful, the sound of seagulls replacing the screaming police sirens streaming up and down Kings Road.”
She added: Blue skies, sea air. Some of the prison pallor is leaving me, Im starting to feel awake again. Gonna go for a long walk this morning.
A spokesman for the Downview prison, where Damji was held, confirmed to Reuters MediaFile that a prisoner released on temporary license has failed to return and it is now a matter for police.

Dear Mr. Pasick,
- Posted by Rafaelmy name is Rafael Cariello and I work as a reporter for the Brazilian newspaper “Folha de S.Paulo” (http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/conh eca). I’m writting to you because I would like to make an interview with you on your job and your new “assignment” to cover Second Life. Do you think that is feasible? Can I send you some few questions on that subject? If so, how can I reach you?
Thank you very much.
Best,
Rafael.
