PS3 Barred From UK Jails

OK, this is really stupid. It appears that the PS3 has been barred from UK Jails, because it could be used by prsoners to “send and receive radio signals” as a result of the PS3's in-built Wi-Fi. According to that official statement, “Advice was issued to all prisons in December 2005 that the Sony PlayStation 3 was barred from the prison estate because of the equipment's ability to send and receive radio signals.”

Who out there thinks that jail birds shouldn't have access to things like PS3's, HDTV's and other tech in the first place?
