Prison isn’t a place for fun and games, nor should it be in my opinion, but somebody in Oregon came up with a plan to incentify convicts with good behavior by giving them videogames.

digg story:

Prison isn’t all fun and games, but a new program in Oregon finds that some games actually produce better prisoners. A recent incentive program allows inmates to purchase a US$35 game console after 18 months without disciplinary problems, and to play their choice of 50 preloaded games.

Is it just me here or shouldn’t prisoners be fearful of going to prison? Shouldn’t it be a place where nobody wants to go, not some country club or arcade?

Did this post make you go hmm?
