When officials at Connecticut's York Correctional Facility learned that an inmate in a prison rehabilitative writing program had won a national writing award, they took swift action to recognize her achievement. They halted the program, ordered all hard drives used in the program erased, and demanded that all the disks be turned over to them.

That cost several inmates up to five years of work.
