Why do criminals have facebook access?

Facebook does not do background checks on individuals, so anyone, including criminals can gain access to Facebook. If they become aware that someone is using Facebook for criminal purposes, they will terminate the account but the criminal can just start up another account and continue using it. Convicted criminals can also be banned by a court from using Facebook for some period of time, but even so, those bans can be difficult to enforce since it can be hard to know what a person is doing at all times when they are on probation, out on parole, or otherwise not locked up. Those who are incarcerated may or may not have access - depending on what access they have to computers and how the filters on any computers they have access to are configured. Some places will block Facebook to protect those outside from the criminals. Others choose to allow it to give the prisoners some kind of social outlet.
