If you have ever harbored interest in learning about prison life, here is your chance to do so through the online creative workings of an inmate doing 25 to life for conspiracy to commit murder.

Prisoner David, a former inmate at the California Mens Colony who describes himself as a comedy sketch writer, has already served around 14 years of his sentence. He is now incarcerated at the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad, Calif., and while he maintains his innocence and attempts to prove it by researching at the prison library, he has learned to channel his frustration with the prison and legal systems through online postings, including articles, drawings and radio segments.

His Web site, prisonerdavid.com, is his way to show every aspect of prison life, from the humor of pranks to the horror of prison violence. The main page includes an introduction to the Web site and provides easy access to the latest radio segment, video, articles, news feeds and featured inmates, along with links.

Prisoner David has been featured in segments on "The Adam Carolla Show," a weekday morning radio program hosted by the co-creator and co-star of TV's "The Man Show" and syndicated throughout the West Coast.

A close friend said he helped Prisoner David acquire a segment on the show by writing a letter for him to the show along with a demo tape made in prison.

"I didn't think they'd have him as a character on the show," the friend said. "It's amazing that they would feature a prisoner." Recordings of these segments can be found on the Web site, along with audio commentaries Prisoner David created concerning issues facing California prison inmates. According to the Official Adam Carolla Show Blog, Prisoner David may be scheduled for recordings but is unable to come in due to lock-downs at the CTF.

The Articles page has links to a number of writings that are more like anecdotes or diary entries. Each work is titled, dated and separated in parts. "Suicidal Tendencies" chronicles the process behind a fellow inmate's suicide, while "Sleepless in Soledad" detailed Prisoner Dave's intense interests in certain female radio personalities, including "Alison" of Cal Poly's own KCPR.

The Characters section includes biographies of "prisoner personalities" and a glossary of prison terms, complete with personal information and images. Visitors can insert captions for hand-drawn cartoons, including some featuring "Dr. Sanchez" and "Officer Jackson." The Web site even features profiles and works of other inmates, including Robert, an eight-year prisoner who taught himself to play the fiddle during his incarceration, and Joseph Mitchell, who creates designs for Outrider Jewelry while behind bars.

Finally, on Prisoner David's profile page, there is a brief description of the purpose of his Web site as well as a link to his MySpace page. There is also a form for visitors to submit guestbook comments, many of which include requests for Dave to tell an inmate "Hi," or "We're thinking of you."

Interestingly enough, Prisoner David himself is allowed no access to the Internet, and an unknown accomplice posts content to the Web site.

Needless to say, prisonerdavid.com whips up the controversy of sympathizing with a criminal. Various online forums, including "Opinions on Prisoner David" at Forumer.com, include posts decrying his online and on-air presences; audience members are shocked and outraged that an "evil" convict would be given frequent chances to express his opinions.

Some think it's the mystery of prison life that makes him, along with television shows like "Prison Break" and "Locked Up," popular. However, some appreciate the glances into life behind bars, a place where injustice has been proven to occur on certain occasions. On the main page, Prisoner David posted a sort of exposé on the water within the prison that sometimes requires the Health Department to check in.

Despite what visitors of the Web site believe, much of the content is compelling and believable, and probably includes information most of us are not familiar with. There is both comedy and drama to see.
