Adult-rated games being nixed from some British jails and prisons
by Devin Coldewey on July 25, 2008


Yeah… those are some l33t photoshop skillz.

I guess Don’t Drop the Soap Saga XII and the latest Battle Raper (I wish I was kidding) have been deemed poisonous to the minds ostensibly being rehabilitated by Britain’s overcrowded prison system. Games have been a privilege among institutions for some time now but budget cuts have caused the console-buying programs to be pruned despite prison staff praising the games as good time-wasters for bored, incarcerated youth.

Games with adult content (described as “human sexual contact” or “gross violence”) would be banned under the new regulations, and inmates in England and Wales would have to pay for any approved games out of their own pockets — assuming those jumpsuits even have pockets.
