Fred Scaletta, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Corrections told InformationWeek that changing the locks was a precautionary measure because they’re not sure if the keys sold on the popular online auction site were actually for the prison.
But they certainly could be, so prison officials weren’t going to take any chances.
