WASHINGTON - Inmates at a California state prison
gained access to Social Security numbers, pension
information and birthdates in a prison warehouse,
according to a report by federal investigators
that was issued quietly last month.
"One prisoner found with confidential records
reportedly asked an inmate serving time for
identity theft to teach him how to use the
information," investigators for the Social
Security Administration's Office of Inspector
General said in the report.
"Prison officials do not know how many prisoners
might have obtained the personal information," the
report said, adding that the incident remains
under investigation.
The investigators warned that the incident reveals
the dangers of letting prison inmates get access
to other people's Social Security numbers. The
Inspector General's report doesn't name the
prison, but it describes events, which match those
that a lawsuit alleges occurred at California's
high-security Pelican Bay State Prison.
