The former South Bay screenwriter "Tweeting" about his experiences behind bars won't be able to post messages on the Internet any more.

Roger Avary, a Mira Costa High School graduate from Hermosa Beach who went on to win an Academy Award for writing "Pulp Fiction" with director Quentin Tarantino, was moved from a work-furlough program that allowed him to work during the day and go to a jail facility at night, to the Ventura County Jail.

"#34 is 'rolled up' to a higher security facility for exercising his first amendment rights," Avary posted Thursday evening on his Twitter account, @Avary. "The truth he has discovered is too dangerous."

Earlier this week, the Daily Breeze and other media reported that Avary was posting messages about his experience as inmate No. 34 on the social media site.
