MAYERSVILLE, Miss. -- Posts on Facebook from inside prison will cost an Issaquena County inmate an additional five years.

The Vicksburg Post reports (http://bit.ly/I81aCu) that Jimmy Pruitt was sentenced this past week to five years in prison for possession of a cell phone in a correctional facility.

Pruitt was serving an eight-year sentence for a manslaughter conviction from Adams County. Prosecutors say the sentences will run one after another.

Pruitt originally was put on probation in 2010 following a prison term for the shooting death of Christopher Bourdin of Natchez. He was sentenced in 2004 to 15 years with seven years suspended, according to court records.

In March 2010, Pruitt was found guilty of violating his probation and imprisoned in the Issaquena County Correctional Facility.
