The youngster was renamed yet again as Blue Tentacles. Psychologists were concerned that he was keeping bad company. They couldn’t stop everything bad in a prison.

Old Brown Tentacles was overheard telling the youngster impressive stories about daring computer crime which he claimed he had done. The guards laughed when they told each other.
