This is prison we are talking about? The place where people go when they decide to not live by the same laws as us?
You can tell a lag wrote it. Laptops with broadband and webcams, TVs, all paid for by us mugs? I'm not sure how keeping lags 'entertained' fits in with the Incapacitation-Deterrence-Restitution-Retribution-Rehabilitation paradigm. I don't get free Internet access and laptops, why should criminals? I don't know how he has the front to suggest it. It was probably the same front that made him thought to hell with laws, i'll do what I want.
Prison should be punative and rehabilitory. They should be taught how to use computers and the Internet, but not have access to the real Internet, only a closed LAN that has a small selection of pre-approved webpages on something uninteresting. Its for education, not entertainment.
Prison should be fun? Whatever next. I think I have heard it all now.
