It Ain't All Bad


Prison's to Ban Recorded Music

It will come as news to the ear's of our misguided middle classes who claim British Prison's are like an all expenses cruise around the Med, that the playing of recorded music will be banned in communial area's of our wholesome jails from the beginning of next week.
Ian poree of the National Offender Management Service has decided that the licence fee's involved in playing recorded music are far too expensive.
"In view of the high cost, the financial constraints on the service and the likely perception of spending large amounts of money on music for prisoners, the decision has been taken not to purchase a licence," Poree wrote in a leaked internal document, reports The Guardian.

So no longer will our jailbird's recline in comfort to sounds of Embryonic and have to order their own copy of the new Vampire Weekend album with their no doubt laundered cash.

Still they've got Chris Moyles breakfast show on the wireless.... The lucky buggers.
