Prisoners to get broadband in their cells!

Just saw this on Silicon.com: Prison net

WTF!?!?! I thought PRISON was for, err, you know, PUNISHMENT. Why the hell should prisoners be allowed access to the net? This is ridiculous...

What do you think?

Oh - hang on - could always be an April Fool joke, but then again, I bet it ISN'T...
