Rejected petition Stop allowing criminals to have a better life than innocent people.

A study has suggested that criminals be allowed Skype and/or social media in prison. There are people who've never done anything wrong in their life and struggle to afford basic internet service and mobile phones and now our taxes are going to find them to have a more cushy life? It's not right.
