Convicts playing games to make their fortunesFollow

A row between the Prison Service and the agency fighting organised crime broke out last night over allegations that prisoners are using interactive internet games to run global crime empires.

The allegation was made, without warning to prison chiefs, at the launch of the annual report of the Serious Organised Crime Agency. Bill Hughes, the director-general of Soca, said that organised crime bosses were operating their multimillion-pound empires from behind bars by using internet games to pass on their orders.

Better then the ones that lift weights all day long. I never have understood that logic behind that. You have some of the most dangerous people in the world locked up for years with very little to do. Hey lets give these guys access to weights so they can work out every day for the next 20 years and really beef themselves up. This way when they get out they can be that much more deadly and dangerous when they get out of prison.

I know they need exercise but not weight lifting equipment.

They should be farming WoW gold for the state.
