I've followed this case from the start, involving Roger Avary, a co-screenwriter with Tarantino of Pulp Fiction (sharing an Oscar), among other credits, including directing Rules of Attraction. He went to prison in California September after pleading guilty to charges of drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter. Naturally, as a writer with plenty of time on his hands, he started tweeting from behind bars a month later. Some of it was predictably vivid, such as called his prison structure "an imposing example of the Brutalist architectual movement."
But last Friday, the Ventura County Star reported that he had been taken off his furlough program probably because of some of his tweets about it. A captain with the local sheriff seemed to suggest that view, but now he has said the tweets were not the prime reason. In any case, you can request access to the screenwriter, if you wish, at twitter where he is under "protected" status (in more ways than one) @AVARY. Here he is accepting the Oscar, from Anthony Hopkins:
