Roger Avary 'tweets from prison'

Oscar-winning filmmaker Roger Avary has reportedly been tweeting from Ventura County jail.

The 44-year-old Pulp Fiction co-writer, who was sentenced to a year behind bars in September for causing a fatal car crash, has been updating followers on his progress via an alleged Twitter account.

He wrote in a post dated November 7: "'They're putting Saltpeter in the food,' one inmate tells #34, 'to shrink our d***s and kill our sex drive... don't eat the soy meat.' Okay."

Avary, who scripted and directed 2002's The Rules Of Attraction and co-wrote Beowulf, also tweeted about one inmate being found in possession of heroin.

"The guards react lightning-fast, locking down the facility and 'rolling up' those responsible," he said, adding in his most recent update: "Sickness spreads throughout the facility like brush fires, and #34 is helpless to avoid the outbreak and inevitable infection."

Among Avary's 10,000-plus followers are his Beowulf collaborator Neil Gaiman and movie studio Fox Searchlight.
