Should a jailbird blog?
A prisoner has addressed the question of whether he should be allowed to blog on the internet.
'Prisoner Ben' is in prison in England for a murder he committed at the age of 14 - so far he has served 30 years.
"My punishment was the loss of my physical liberty, not the loss of anything else," he wrote.
Should prisoners be allowed to use the internet to justify themselves, and do they have the right to address the outside world?
Joshua Rozenburg is a legal commentator and John Hirst is a former life prisoner who is now out on licence - we hear them both debate this question.
