Whatever gov't official bought the ticket for the prisoner probably doesn't bother asking what their ff # is.
And you of course can keep your boarding pass to get miles later, but something tells me that the guards handle the prisoner's boarding passes.
I would guess no.

Just don't purchase the last magazine and taunt the convict if their face is on the cover

Why shouldn't they get miles
Since 17,000 prison inmates received checks courtesy of the $800 billion stimulus package per the AP, maybe they can use the miles to take a nice vacation?

Well in the State of Alaska, if you are incarcerated, you might not be eligible for a PFD...
We do have quite a few prisoners stored in AZ and I think CO now... for a bit when the SOA had a private jet, they used it to transport the prisoners. But a big hoopla caused the state to sell the jet on ebay.
