Having done time more than a few decades ago, I can attest (oh, btw . . . I was guilty) . . . to the the mental turmoil of a free nature now caged and very limited to exercise my brain besides reading . . . . (we didn't have TV's or stuff they have now), and in my opinion, ESPECIALLY Now that I am somewhat addicted to computer communication (like here, right now) and video games . . . . IF a Playstation is an allowable privilege and I've done nothing to jeopardise that, it should be returned . . . an' to the law an' order freaks ? . . . kill me now or allow what life I can live until then . . . . my brain is pretty much a prison in those circumstances . . . . my 2 cent's worth.
I rest my case!
I remember the uproar in the 70s when our inmates got TVs in the cell. Suddenly the dayroom was much quieter and more inmates locked it up early. overall easier to manage the place.
