Back in September Oscar-winning screenwriter Roger Avary was jailed for a year and five months after killing a passenger and injuring his wife in a crash while driving under the influence of alcohol.

Clearly keen to keep up his writing skills, Avary ꦇstarted Tweeting from iౠnside Ventura County Jail.

His Twitter page hit the news last week, offering gloomy insights into his incarceration (alas, it's no longer public, so there's no point pr🐷oviding th🔜e link).

Examples included: "Night fa𒁃lls, and the only real activity is an endless recounting of the terrible and pointless events that broughꦰt us all to this sad place".

And "The breakfast oatmeal comes in large sacks with a picture of🅘 a horse on them and labelled 'Not intended for human consum𒅌ption.'"

But it now appears that Avary was actually on a work release programme, on❀ly returning to the facility at nights a⛎nd weekends and working normally during the day.

So, far from being a steely insight into the hellishness of low-security prison life, the Tweets were just a cosy little diary of occasional ob﷽servations tapped in by a man reclining in his big massive home bed on a 🧜posh laptop with a beer by his side. We'd imagine.

Still, according to the Ventura Sheriff's spokesman Captain Ross Bonfiglio, Avary has now been placed in Ventura Cou🥂nty Jail under proper full-time lock and key.

Bon🔥figlio claims ꦇthe Twittering had nothing to do with the change and that it happened for "security reasons".

Bit of a coincidence, we reckon. Do you agree? Did you get a chance to check out his Twitterage? Let us know below...
