What’s so hard about this? You get the picture and you post it on the website. If you have the text all ready to go, you update the prisoner number and it’s trivial to hit the upload button.

I will repost it with Nitter, because Twitter, to some users doesn't show the replies (including myself now...). I understand what you felt, because if you see only the first post, it doesn't make anysense.
