209w ago - Just over a month ago it was
rumored that crime lords were running empires from jail via PlayStation consoles.
Today it appears some prison officials are taking no chances, and are banning inmates' PlayStation 3 consoles amid escape fears.
To quote: A prison has banned inmates from using PlayStation 3 games consoles because they fear they could be used in an escape attempt.
Inmates at Rye Hill prison, near Rugby, Warwickshire, were found to be using the consoles' built-in wireless connections to chat to friends outside prison.
Wardens have confiscated the consoles over fears they pose a "significant threat" to prison security. A spokesman for the Prison Service said:
"PlayStation 3 consoles are barred on the grounds that they have the capability to send and receive radio signals as an integral part of the equipment."

I wonder what kinds of games they were playing? Games with massive violence and killing to keep the prisoners from losing their touch?

This is disgusting how these BAD people are treated. I don't think they should be allowed to spend any of their money while they are in there, probably stolen, or accept "gifts" like a $400-600 ps3.
These PS3's are given to them for "GOOD" behaviour. Payed for by the Great British Tax Payers. They dont have to buy there own. Our Prison System is like a holiday camp where they cant wait to go back in.
