Where do you draw the line between recreational entertainment (which is generally held to be necessary for humane conditions in every prison in the first world) and luxury? What separates Super Mario from Harry Potter?

Harry Potter can be screened in one hall for the enjoyment of hundreds of people for the price of a projector (likely already there) and maybe $5 extra.

A video game entertains, at most, four people at a time, and requires an expensive console and a game that can cost as much as $60.

For God's sake, the book! THE BOOK
