Ok, I will present you with two scenarios.
A. A man gets involved in crime during his school days, he goes to jail without an education. Whilst in jail he gets punished. When he leaves he gets involved in crime again because he can't get a job.
B. A man gets involved in crime during his school days, he goes to jail without an education. Whilst in jail he gets another chance at his GCSEs, which he takes. When he leaves he gets a job using his new skills and doesn't turn to crime again.
I would rather have the latter.

I do think agree with you that luxuries like Playstations should be kept to a minimum though.
