Your money

Very good boys were briefly allowed to buy their own Digi-boxes as a reward for consistently excellent behaviour. Cost to taxpayer, zero.

The Ministry of Justice stopped this largess, deciding instead to install a centralised Digital system in each prison. This pumps 9 channels through to our cells.

The cost of this is about £5,000 per prison.

Economic crisis? What crisis...

Damn Lies!

The pay in the workshops is steadily decreasing. The excuse offered for this is that there is a recession, prices are falling, the value of the products is lower, hence lower pay.

When we go to spend our pittance, though, we are charged way over the odds for everything. The explanation for this is that the prices of goods outside are increasing.

Hmm, is someone having us over?
