Hacker Gets 2 Years in Prison

A California resident nabbed by the FBI for his alleged role involving the reprogramming of access cards for pirating satellite TV signals received a prison term for his effort.

Santa Maria resident Brian Keith Miller, 30, was sentenced last week to two years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Miller was included in a nationwide sweep in August 2000 that resulted in the arrest and prosecution of 16 individuals allegedly involved in unauthorized reprogramming of access cards used to get DirecTV service.

Miller was convicted along with his accomplice, Richard Clark, 36, of Dolton, Ill., back in March. Charges against Clark and Miller were for violation of federal laws governing the manufacturing and distribution of illegitimate satellite TV access devices.

Clark was sentenced earlier in the year to six months home detention, five years probation, and 120 hours community service. The other 14 individuals involved in the case also were convicted on related violations, the FBI said.

The investigation concerning Clark and Miller was conducted by special agents with the Santa Maria office of the FBI. The case was tried by Assistant U.S. Attorney Shannon Wright, who is based in Los Angeles.

Not to mention 3 meals a day that even I'd be jealous of. Ever hear the saying "Do the crime and you pay the time? " It should be changed to do the crime and you pay by going to a health club. lol. Isn't America wonderdul ;)

My sister-in-law works in tech support for the prison system. And she can assure you that the "suburban legends" of posh prison life are almost entirely that. Someone like OJ gets the perks, but average convicts get a tiny cell and three squares consisting of surplus Ag dept food that couldn't pass the mystery meat requirements of school lunches. And remember that convicts prepare the food in prisons...

Yeah and then there's the serious problem of what to do if you drop your soap in a prison shower...that's not a problem at my health club, how about yours?

I can most assuredly assure you that they don't eat like that in Utah. I know I am a correctional officer and have been for over 10 years. It is a day camp for bigger kids. Coddling and warm hugs daily, a great big day camp.
I would have to say that I think that they eat probably better than most people who are out working for a living. Plus they eat 3 meals a day. I don't even eat three meals a day when I am at home on days off.

So I think he probably have it very cushy. Just our tax payers money at work.

Yeah, lets make it real tough for all those guys in prison. Lets make them real angry and bitter. Lets make sure they have no chance to better themselves through education or vocational training at our expense while they are in prison. Don't give them positive activities to occupy their time, it will take away from their time spent learning how to be better criminals. Rehabilitation, we don't need no stinkin' rehabilitation, we're going for recidivism. After all, you need your job security. Then we can release real angry, bitter, violent men, who have no hope of a better future into society and let them have fun until you get to have them back again.

Corrections officer, I agree with your comments above.

Sounds to me like Bogy is a recidivism number himself. he he he he

I didn't see anything that you wrote in your comments that would have triggered a response from Bogy like that unless he is an ex-con. rehabilitation, recidivism, education and vocational training. he he he LMAO.

Isn't America wonderful.

It damn sure is...

Part of his message was "release for the captives" and visiting those in prison. He even forgave a convict in midst of his execution (Both his own and the other convicts). He said it was proper to show anger, when justice demanded it. Many of us will be celebrating his birthday soon, on Dec. 25th.
