Prisoners in the UK provided with PlayStation 2 consoles

Based upon your insights on all things Sony,esp Ps3, I would think you of all people Mr. Sterling would think having to play a Sony console is the worst punishment imaginable. LOL All in good sport...cheers

I don't hate Sony. The PS2 is the best console on the market, which makes this so rubbish.

I submit to the board that Sterling is a Sony basher.

@RICHARD BLOCKER

Trust me, I'm trying to woo him out with promises of big bouncy American chesticles, straight teeth, and being on the correct side of global imperialism.

We have Tay Zonday too.

ALL UR ZONDAYS ARE BELONG TO AMERIKKKAS!!!11

You can come to sunny Florida and crash on my couch, Sterling. I will even pull up a chair and watch you while you sleep. Don't worry, I wont bother you, I have night-vision goggles. You'll never know I'm there.

"Also, isn't it funny that a country that bans violent videogames and demonizes them as corrupting influences is actually providing prisoners with them? There is something seriously messed up with this ridiculous country."


^ Explains alot about BBC, or maybe not a whole lot.

Jim! Ya cunting fuck, YOU'RE BRILLIANT!

NO STERLING! Don't do it, don't come to Florida!

Worst state EVER!

It's too hot 80% of the year, too sunny the entire year, SO MANY old people you always smell em (it's called God's Waiting Room for a reason), traffic is ridiculous, and even when traffic isn't bad, you still gotta watch out for the old people that can't SEE!

My friend got his brand-new S2000 (he's a mechanic, big $$$ here) totaled by a guy born in....

1908!!!!

Yes, the guy was ONE MONTH from turning 100, was almost totally blind, couldn't see over the steering wheel, and was still driving... Stay far away!

Come to Florida Sterling.

He's right y'know, Death, Pestilence, Famine and Barbie!

Florida sux. I live near Tampa. It sux.

Uh wait....Was Jim Sterling a great big fat person?

Blocker wins. Silence of the Lambs <3

Spotted dick, because it is penis SEE!?

douchee, I mean touche!

I heard that the most popular name for newborn males in England is Mohammed now.. is this the truth, Jim Sterling? If so, you need to give up your quest for correcting the corrupt and get to makin babies!!!1

@xenon

You're probably right guy. Rest assured, George W Bush is to blame!

Oh, and don't use "capitalist" as if it's a bad thing, ya damn pinko commie!

I seriously can't wait to get off this island.

Are you a native or a transplant? At least you can watch Spooks and Midsomer Murders if youre into that. Cheers

A real punishment would've been to give them a ps3. Or maybe a Jaguar.

And I thought video games were the reason they got in jail in the first place?

Well, our prisons are overcrowded so if we give them Manhunt (a.k.a. Murder Sim Alpha) then the problems solved.

Dear Jim Sterling:

You are wrong. Remember that also people in prison who don't deserve to be there. Life as it is not fair to a great deal of people and you very well know that money is the one that ultimately speaks and buy your freedom, health, commodities and a great chunk of your happiness.

While robbery, murder, rape, corruption among others are obviously true crimes, the process of discerning who is guilty or innocent is not. There are a LOT of people serving time just because life have fucked them over. Not having a chance in this image driven world can get you to do the wrong things very quickly. Maybe your parents showed you what was good and wrong but I can assure you there are a LOT of people who don't have such luck.

Theres also people that really regret of the stuff they did and can reform themselves for the better. Theres a difference between murder and homicide you know. Can you blame a person of stealing food if he was hungry and had no money? I can recall a case where a man stole like $2 from a store and served 20 years in prison. Too bad he was black and the lawyer the county provided was a known racist.

Im really glad this prison is giving PS2s to inmates that they believe deserve them by either good behavior or give great services to other inmates or the prison itself. I think prison administration know who deserves a ps2 and who doesn't.

I come from a poor neighborhood and have seen many many good folk going to prison and serve 5, 10 even 25 years for stuff like defending their wifes/girlfriends/little brothers, deal with racist and bully police officers, stealing medicine for a sick relative, and many others.

Remember this is a fucked up government with a money driven society and is very well bound to have a lot on injustice within it, just don't say that if someone is in prison is because they really deserve it.

I really hope you and your loved ones don't get caught at wrong place at the wrong time not to mention to have the balls it takes to deal with a LOT of shit in life that can get you with very ease inside a prison block. I'm sure you would want a PS2 too.

This is just sad, though I would like to see a list of games, or is it just a joke? Will there is a PS2 but no game, or maybe hundreds of games but no controller? That would be pretty funny.

On a side note, Florida is the only state I have been in(and Ive been to a few) where it can be 90-100 degrees, sun glaring down beating you into submission WHILE there is a torrential downpour. You would think a torrential downpour would need clouds, but somehow in the crazy land of Florida god has made an exception. I always found it funny that its called "The Sunshine State", yet it rains almost every fucking day and has Hurricanes up the ass.
