Of course there is a case to say a high percentage of the prisoners wages could be held back but that is another argument...

That was the point I was trying to make mancie, but I couldn't seem to seperate the the inside from the outside work. A TV program I watched on prisons showed a woman at the end of a drug dealing sentence allowed out to work on a delivery van, she bought a car and had enough to part furnish a flat they found for her on release she had the deposit for the flat as well. Also she was made a criminal bankrupt upon sentence and her previous assets sold, so she basicly got a clean start.
