Disgraced flashcore mogul Joe Francis, currently occupying a cell at the Washoe County Detention Center outside Reno as he awaits trial on tax evasion, appears to have taken full advantage of the facility's popular Inmate Web Development program and fashioned an impressive internet presence for himself. Starting today, Meet Joe Francis lends the visionary behind the Girls Gone Wild drunken co-ed tittie-baring empire a platform for everything from a 10-page legal defense to a personal biography in which he nostalgically recalls first jobs, first cars, and first prom dates rendered drunk enough to capture topless with a Polaroid. News of the launch came through the following e-mail, in which Francis urges his outrage-deficient friends and colleagues to help reverse a travesty of justice foisted upon an honorable man guilty of nothing more than loving a good time:

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As most of you know, for nearly the past six months I have been in jail. What you may not know is the full story of why. I have patiently maintained my silence during my stay in jail because I believed in the American judicial process. I am sad to say that in recent months, this belief has begun to erode. The system that I believed would protect and exonerate me has instead been used in far more troubling ways.

Since this ordeal began, most of you have contacted me to ask if there was anything you could to do help. I greatly appreciate your kind expressions of love and support. Now there is something you can do, which may be very helpful to me. Please click on the link below to read a full account of my legal situation. I'm sure that once you learn the story for yourself and understand the circumstances that have brought me to this point, you'll be as outraged as I am. The scariest thing about my situation is not that it's happening to someone you know, but that it could just as easily happen to you. I never expected my life to be a cautionary tale, but if revealing the truth behind my circumstances can help one other person avoid being grievously mishandled by the justice system, then it is worth telling.

I hope you will forward this link to your contact list, encourage your friends to read it and ask them to pass it along further.
