Late to the thread, but I once actually worked on a project which
involved giving prisoners access to the internet (via a work program,
where the nodes were connected with internet-capable computers)....
our solution was based on serious machine, and router-level,
whitelisting, and locking down the hardware. If there's *any* link at
all, blacklisting solutions just don't cut it, as any horny 12 year
old, mid-age oppressed political dissident, or old hacker can tell
you.
