My attempt at being humerous also hid what I was trying to say in reply to why should prisoners work.
I'm not saying basic provisions shouldn't be provided, but like the rest of the world outside of the prison wall, luxuries should be earned by working for them, like we all have too.
If prisoners wanted tobacco/phone cards/magazines/stationary etc. they'd work for them if they had too.
(I left off the above list things like drugs/alcohol/illegal mobiles/pornography, which are also readily available for purchase in most UK jails.)
