    Everyone assumes it is to do with children (including Wikipedia) but it's not actually specified.
    It could be animals.

      The Colonel told Jack what happened during the jail visithe was with a 15 year old girl and she OD'd. Then they "found something" in his house. He didn't specifically say what, but he said he has a weakness, they're so small and cute. Obviously child pornography. You don't get arrested for a weakness for small, cute animals.

          Not if don't touch them, and he said he didn't. Heck in 70's and early 80's you could legally film animals being chopped to bits(Cannibal Holocaust anyone.).

            .
            Judging by Jack's reaction and the fact that the dude was beat up in prison.
            It definitely wasn't animals..it was kids.

              It's child porn, or it's animal porn, really it's whatever you want it to be and you clearly want it to be animal porn, but that's a leap, you should watch the directors commentary or check the internet to see if PT Anderson gave a definitive answer. Although he is clearly suggesting child porn, that's why you don't get told in the film, he's assuming the audience is intelligent enough to put those few puzzle pieces together themselves.

                      I think most people would assume that. It's never specified though. It could be either
                      (not seen it for a while - what was Jack's reaction?)

                        Jack is disgusted. & just gets up from the visit & leaves, no more words.

                          No, the phone cuts-off.
                          Since The Col. can't hear him, Jack just nods his head "yes" in answer.

                            I know this is old but…
                            No. The phone does not cut off. Jack hangs up. It's very clear. We watch him do it.
                            He does not nod to answer the Colonel's question ("Are you my friend?"). He is clearly disgusted. He does not look at the Colonel again; he hangs up the phone, hangs his head in disgust and sorrow, and leaves.
                            How you got the impression that the phone just "cut off" and Jack nods "yes" in answer I have no idea, but that is absolutely not what happened. (Much like it was absolutely not videos of cute little animals that got the Colonel sent to prison.)

                              I always wondered if he actual children at his house. Not just the underage teenagers but 11 and under children

                                I always assumed he had children locked in a dungeon in his basement.

                                  You assume a lot! No children are even mentioned. It's deliberately left ambiguous.

                                    I felt it was left that it could either be children being kept at the house, or child pornography.

                                      No one knows for sure. That was my point really.

                                        It's obviously child pornography. God, no wonder some directors feel they have to spell everything out if some moviegoers are this dumb.
                                        Of course it isn't small animals FFS!!!!
                                        Was it a millionaire who said "Imagine no possessions"?

                                          Nope. You're wrong. Assume all you like.
