"After concluding that the popular role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons (“D&D”) represented a threat to prison security, officials at Wisconsin’s Waupun Correctional Institution took action to eradicate D&D within the prison’s wall."

"Waupun’s long-serving Disruptive Group Coordinator, Captain Bruce Muraski, received an anonymous letter from an inmate. The letter expressed concern that Singer and three other inmates were forming a D&D gang and were trying to recruit others to join by passing around their D&D publications and touting the “rush” they got from playing the game."

"an expert on prison gangs argued not only that having a Dungeon Master issue direction to other players “mimics the organization of a gang”, but that the game encourages players to become obsessed with mentally escaping the restrictions of prison life, which could threaten “the safety and security of the institution.”"

Mjā, izlasot to slēdzienu, galvenā doma ir - D&D rosina bandas tipa socializāciju, ir precedenti noziegumiem D&D iespaidā, cietuma apsardze zina labāk, ko var un ko nevar ieslodzītie, un cietumā laiks nav jāpavada 'bēgot no realitātes pie elfiem' bet gan topot pāraaudzinātiem par sabiedrībai derīgiem pilsoņiem...
