    Specifically, FCI Cumberland, an institution I have driven by many
    times, though not very recently. It's medium-security and is home to
    that one surviving Somali pirate from that thing they made the movie
    of. (Along with all those memes.)

    As with the Walkers, spying can be a family affair. I hadn't heard
    about the son, but his wife served time in prison and then went back
    to Colombia when she got out.
