As far as im concerned being in prison means being shut away from your family and friends, losing your freedom. They shouldnt get sky tv or any other benefits. There are people who dont have sky or virgin etc on the outside so why should prisoners who are there to be punished have it. In fact what they should have is a cell with a bed, a locker or something to put their clothes in, a chair, a table, toilet, a bible/koran all provided. They should have access to a library for books for loan, a communal tv - with just bbc1, bbc2, itv, channel 4 and channel 5. They should have to work for a living inside the prison, say half of them do college work in the morning and then work in the afternoon, the other half work in the morning and college in the afternoon. If anyone says thats going against their human rights what about their victims human rights? They violated their victims human rights so they should have to pay. Once you go to prison then you forfeit the right to have sky tv, etc.

Anyone disagree?
