A website dedicated to reuniting convicts has attracted thousands
of users from around the world.
Mike Breach and Chris Harvey originally set up Convicts Reunited
as a spoof inspired by sites like Friends Reunited.
Although they didn't intend it to be taken seriously, the site
has attracted 3,000 registered users. They are now developing it
seriously.
The Wiltshire pair say Convicts
Reunited gets around a thousand hits a week.
Its homepage reads: "This website is run by Ex-Convicts, for
Convicts and Ex-convicts who have either lost contact with old prison
inmate or maybe looking for fellow cons for their next bank job."
Mike said: "At the moment there's Friends Reunited, Workers
Reunited and Graduates Reunited. One day we found out that nobody
had registered convicts, so we set one up."
The pair hope to add forums and a prison review section which will
rate food, accommodation and people.
