"The incident took place in August and continued through October. From various reports in Romanian media and a statement released by the national penitentiary police union, the incident appears to have originated in the city of Dej, in Romania's Transilvania region, at a prison hospital complex, where prisoners are sent to treat illnesses and then return to finish their sentence at their normal jails."
"A prisoner found a way to hack the tablets and kiosks installed in the Dej hospital prison and at other Romanian penitentiaries. These systems allow convicts to access an online platform managed by the National Penitentiary Association (ANP) using a username and password. Prisoners can file requests, can redeem days off their sentence by performing various jobs, or can add money to a bank account that they can later use to shop for certain goods and services."
