Doing time

If you've been incensed about the prisoners who get a better college education than many kids out here who have trouble paying for one, never fear. Inmates have as much opportunity to waste their time as we do.

Oregon's prison system in the US is turning to computer games to help rehabilitate felons.

Inmates who have a clean disciplinary record for 18 months are being given a chance to buy a small handheld game console.

The gadget has 50 simple games onboard that can be played through small TVs fixed in cells.

Of course, we're paying for the games as well as the education.
