ABOUT F**KING TIME! Whether it's headline grabbing or not, this is something that should never have been allowed in the first place.
If I'd realised you can break the law and then play games at Her Majesty's Pleasure, I'd have owned up to what I did, instead of spending hours chopping up the body and feeding it to my cats.

i did some work for a prison a while back IT related and during my time there i had to have the standard tour and saftey show around etc, now this was a young offenders prision 16-20 year olds, some were in for petty things others were very very serious offences, now on my tour i was taken through the common room, to where my work was being done, my fecking jaw dropped!!
these `convicts` had a 2 x 60" Plasma TV`s wall mounted, with each one connected to a PS2 + 360, at the side of them was a lockable cabinet with at least 60-70 games for both consoles, there was also a bank of personal use computers around 15 and at the back of the room was a 120" HD projector with sofas and headsets for watching movies.
also in the room was an air hockey table, fuseball table and pool tables, next door to that was a full state of the art gym with swimming pool.
it wasnt a prison it was a f**king pamper camp!!
at least i know if my kids ever did anythign wrong they would be in luxury!
i told the guard how this was luxury and he agreed, he said that because they were young offenders they were not to be treated like prisoners and even the guards had to allow them freedom within the prison, to the point of not even being allowed to raise there voices!!!!
this country is a joke!!!
