- Two inmates in Ohio built computers from PCs meant for recycling, hiding them in a training room ceiling.
- The unauthorized PCs were discovered in 2015 due to unusual internet activity flagged by IT staff, with the case made public later.
- Forensic analysis found software, pornography, and articles on making drugs and explosives on the machines, along with prison pass records.
- An IT employee breached policies, and authorities are reviewing the incident to prevent future occurrences.
