Prisoners should not be getting any thing in any form of media or entertainment. Prisons arent suppose to be 5 star hotels or entertainment halls. Why waste tax dollars on getting a game system for a murderer....

less violence in the jails and much less problems for the people who work there if those arrested don't get too desperate.

i'm pro tv and some other stuff in jails but gaming consoles aren't needed. or maybe they are if that would mean they will stop with whatever shit they do all the time in the jails.



Nah let's give him more gym equipment so he can more easily beat up other prisoners and guards.
6 years ago it seemed a good idea, better then fighting off boredom.

I tried to find an appropiate image as a counter claim but I can only come up with this

i even added that consoles could be good if that would stop them to do even more shit in the jails.

they will still hate to be in jail even with "comfort"

I wish badger gnome were here. He'd have something sort of witty for us.

Maybe he just wants to play Flower? How the hell can they deny a man Flower?

In other news, Manhunt was just added to the PSN store. Interesting.



Mass murderers don't deserve a Playstation. They should give him a Wii U if they want to deter people from this sort of crime in the future.



For a lot of prisoners I would say, yeah you have to live in a cell, you can play some games.

But he is a mass murderer, he really doesn't deserve it. Maybe some books, I dunno, but definitely not a playstation.

Honestly, I could see game system play-time as a reward on a limited basis.  Non-violent sports games would be huge and might help establish comradery.  It would be good for moral, which is important.

Definitely not as a device they could play whenever they want, though.

However, I think Sony should try to get prisons to buy Vitas for inmates in order to boost sales numbers.  That way, everyone wins, and they don't even need to buy TVs.  The world would be a better place if criminals played Little Big Planet.

Yeah. Let's give a bunch of convincted criminals a system that has no gaemz that aren't interactive child pornography. Genius stuff there.
