Same here. I asked her about TV's, PlayStations and she said that these are privileges that can be taken away for bad behaviour and they have to pay for them out of their wages.
If they don't work or misbehave, they can't have luxury items.
Even those who do sometimes ask her what she's doing in the evening and when she tells them they look sad and upset that they are incarcerated, which shows that being locked up is more of a punishment than is realised by inmates and the public.
A reformed ex inmate called Jack Hill has done some interesting videos on YouTube, he answers questions and tells it how it is. He covers everything from violence, food, sex in prison and the humiliating clothes that they are made to wear:

In essence I agree, it's no holiday camp.
