I was reading a while back that, in most prisons around the UK the in-mates are given free playstations to play during the day. Now correct me if I am wrong but surely prison should make these people realise that they have done a terrible thing and shouldn't be "rewarded" in prison with the likes of playstations and tv's. What makes it worse is that there are people homeless and they decide to break the law just so they can be sent to prison as it seems to be a better standard of living.

Another thing.
Game developers make games based on films like robocop, star wars. But what would be the best film to make a game off ? Let me know your ideas.

I agree, and the free playstations and tv's is just the icing on the cake.

But honestly, what is freedom to some people?

Sleeping under a railway bridge, and begging for change?

If they go to prison they get 3 decent meals a day, they can get a free education, and they'll get a rehabilitation grant upon their release.

Prisoners have got it too good.

For some reason, the principal punishment in prison is supposed to be the loss of freedom, rather than particularly squalid living conditions.

Though as it turns out, the main punishment appears to be the prospect of cohabiting with vast numbers of males who are, uh , 'heterosexually challenged'.
