Yes, and the channels through which information reaches someone inside are more numerous than most people on the outside realize. Inmates receive letters, emails, and phone calls from multiple people. Anyone on the outside who knows both of you and has access to him through any of those channels can pass along information, true or embellished, without you ever knowing it happened.
