Rejected petition Removal of television sets from prisons

More details

Prison should be so boring that it puts people off from ever re-offending again.

Televisions & PlayStations etc.. should be removed and given to charity or sold, saving tax payers money from being spent on TV license fees and upgrading the hardware.

If you do the crime then you should serve the time - not having fun watching tv.
