Okay, just saw this headline on twitter:
https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/...498360121.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_DCBrand
Not sure if it should be posted here or on the gaming side, if people feel this should be on the gaming side I ask the mods to move it there.
How do you guys feel about inmates gaming? This guy has a life sentence for murdering his wife, on one hand I could see the argument that prisoners shouldn't be playing video games or having fun, while on the other hand I could also see people saying it's something to make prison life more bearable and less suffarable, how do you feel about it? Should prisoners suffer as much as possible for their crimes? One thing to keep in mind though prison life in the U.S is already much better than in a lot of other places, where people don't even have food to eat if family/friends don't bring it to them, prisons are crowded, prisoners have no access to decent hygiene and a bed to sleep (I live in such a country, Brazil). In my opinion though what we needed to discuss here in the article is the fact that he bargained for an xbox in exchange for information, I'm not sure that should be a thing, anyway they said they were considering it already and that the inmates won't be able to play violent games and it won't be connected to the internet either.
Edit: Hopefuly we don't get any comments like: at least xbox is popular with inmates, that shouldn't be the topic of discussion here.
