Ha, I've got visions of this in my head after reading about that - anyone else seen the Porridge tv movie where they play a charity match in the prison and Fletch escapes?

From 53 mins onwards:

Seems strange that the opposition teams have to play 2 away games against them because they can't leave the prison grounds. Dodgy advantage that, imagine the teams visiting will be bottling it. Also is it acceptable to reward prisoners with such a boss activity ? They don't exactly deserve it.

Surely only well behaved inmates will be allowed to play, and it much better they see that channelling their energies in the right way is a positive thing, was use is a punishment system if their is no rehabilitation involved
