On Prison Computer, Files to Make Parents Shiver By Nina Bernstein

For two years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been looking into
a computer programming and telemarketing business that is run by inmates
at a Minnesota prison after agents seized child pornography files.

The story explains how investiagtors found not just child pornography, but 
a list of names, ages, personal details ("latchkey kids," "speech 
difficulties," etc.) of children "most[ly] girls between 3 and 12" 
alphabetized by town and coded by map coordintates.
