I think that's been confirmed as just an urban legend - the main model in question was the Rambler, quite popular outside prisons, and the name doesn't seem a likely choice if the model were mainly for incarcerated folk! The explanation that I recall for its popularity "inside" was that both telescopic aerials and cylindrical cells were forbidden, which more or less restricted the market to a few UK-made MW/LW sets employing PP9s.
