Here is an alternate link
Disable USB Disks with GPO

If you're on Windows Vista, your job is considerably easier, it seems.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Prisoners?

Okay, so what specifically is your situation? Do you have a kiosk or something which prisoners can access? Why do they need to access said computer, and what kind of information do you have on that computer that they shouldn't be able to download? Or, do you just want to prevent them from running programs on USB disks?

How ya doing, buddy?

Gaming, just lock down the computer something fierce so that they can only run programs that are authorized...

How ya doing, buddy?

That would be my suggestion then. Restrict the prisoners from running all programs except for a list of already vetted applications. This can be done using Group Policies, and is more painless than trying to prevent them from using unauthorized USB sticks.

This Tom's Hardware post refers to Windows 2000, but you should be able to pull it off in XP and Vista as well:
Prevent Running of Unauthorized Program via GPO
