Inmates in Ohio's Marion Correctional Institution smuggled computer parts out of an ewaste recycling workshop and built two working computers out of them, hiding them in the ceiling of a training room closet ceiling and covertly patching them into the prison's network.
Ars Technica has some more details, including a link to
Randall Meyer, the Ohio inspector general, said the prison's lax supervision allowed a situation akin to "an episode from Hogan's Heroes."
"It surprised me that the inmates had the ability to not only connect these computers to the state's network but had the ability to build these computers," Meyer said. "They were able to travel through the institution more than 1,100 feet without being checked by security through several check points, and not a single correction's staff member stopped them from transporting these computers into the administrative portion of the building. It's almost as if it's an episode of Hogan's Heroes."
The Inspector General's report (pdf) on the entire incident is available.

I think it means "free speech including allowing public, unattributed statements."
Most societies with free speech laws do not have provisions (or at least many situations) to speak freely without anyone knowing the speaker's identity.

I see nothing waqko[sic] about that. Free speech is totally unconditional, or it's not free

This is true. The American's 1st Amendment is probably the singular exception. Nobody else even comes close.
