makes it easier for many people to rationalize their cheating. A woman in a
Southwestern state who obtained an authorization code from her boyfriend said,
through an intermediary, that she never really thought of telephone fraud as a
"moral issue." "I don't abuse it," the woman said of her newfound telephone
privilege. "I don't use it for long periods of time - I never talk for more
than an hour at a time - and I don't give it out to friends." Besides, she
said, the bills for calls she has been making all over the United States for
the past six weeks go to a "large corporation that I was dissatisfied with.
It's not as if an individual is getting the bills."
There is one place, however, where the phone companies maybe have the upper
hand in their constant war with the hackers and cheats.
In some prisons, said an MCI spokesman, "we've found we can use peer pressure.
Let's say we restrict access to the phones, or even take them out, and there
were a lot of prisoners who weren't abusing the phone system. So the word
gets spread to those guys about which prisoner it was that caused the
telephones to get taken out. Once you get the identification (of the
phone-abusing prisoner) out there, I don't think you have to worry much" the
spokesman said. "There's a justice system in the prisons, too."
