Get a life, become a Prisoner

It can't be long before life 'inside' becomes better than life 'outside' for many prisoners. They already have many of the facilities available to the general population, just without the cost. "Exclusive" use of healthcare facilities - Did Ronnie Biggs join an NHS waiting list when he needed treatment? - television and now possible internet access!! Why should a charity want prisoners to have access to the internet? What would they need it for? Presumably they could do everything online, shop, chat, email and even book holidays. It's just a shame they can't travel!! Maybe that too will become a breach of their human rights given time.
