Prisoners at a privately-run prison in Liverpool are being allowed to watch satellite television.
Inmates at Altcourse Prison in Fazakerley are allowed access to a limited number of channels as a reward for good behaviour.
Operated by international security firm G4S, about 400 out of 1300 prisoners are given the privilege.
During the early 1990s I was in Garth prison in Lancashire and all the inmates had access to Sky channels. Similarly, in 2000 I was in Rye Hill in Warwickshire and Sky was available there. Hardly news is it?
Hi ,
ReplyDeleteYour work on the blog http://www.jailhouselawyersblog.blogspot.com/ is fantastic. I’m influenced in a positive way.
If you are interested, I would like to exchange links by placing a content link in your website. Don’t you think it would be nice for both our sites?
I’m waiting for your response.

ReplyDeleteNo, hardly sounds like a big deal does it, but it will, no doubt, serve to get the knee jerkers up in arms about the fact that prisoners are allowed anything more than a ball and chain.
ReplyDeleteJust so long as they pick oakum while they're doing it I don't have a problem with this.
