PS3 banned from British prisons
One of the PS3's key features is built in access to wireless internet. Unfortunately, upon review by the British home secretary John Reid, this feature isn't as nice as it sounds. If prisoners were to somehow get a PS3 in their hands, they could use the PS3's wireless powers to send messages to other cell-mates, or worse, to the outside world. And so, to avoid new, high-tech, and extremely-high-cost escape plans, Mr. Reid is banning all PS3's (and PSP's, which share the same capability) from prisons in Britain. It is quite possible other countries could see this as a model, and also lock wireless devices from their prisons.

I say we bring back torture :D
2 meter tall guy in a 2x1m cell... FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, damnit...
Of course other prisioners have a "better life" but damnit, those are not murders then...
(no offence to any old ladies we may have as TPU members :p , and mugging old ladies, well, youd need to be retarded to do that)
I wonder when they ban smoking in public places,at the end of April this year,will they let prisoners out for a smoke as well.
and yes theses prisioners need to be out with the pick-axe like slaves, not like some of them do now stay high play games listen to music work-out elc and get more ideas for future crimes trough the friends they make. (they become better at being criminals alot of times in there :(.)
I hate to admit it but I was glad to see some of them get the crap beat out of them and not be able to do anything about it.. now they know how the people they robbed and beat half to death feel..
ps.. all the good criminals, don't get caught..lol.. the only thing you learn from criminals in jail is how to do crime the stupid way lol.. typically doing it their way just gets you right where they are..lol.. jail..
