In which case they will then have reason to demand a TV each.Originally posted by AtW View PostI'd refuse on safety grounds - having more than one TV channel in prison will lead to fights trying to decide which one to watch.

Before this season SKY coverage was never an issue for Welsh prisoners.
You'll notice it wasn't the HMP Cardiff prisoners complaining.

for AtW for at last saying something sensible!
I'd expand on this by suggesting that channel should consist of endless repeats of Gardeners World programmes, pre Rachel de Thame era.

Prisoners demand more Sky Sports - Telegraph
Inmates at a jail in South Wales already have Sky Sports 1, but have lodged a formal complaint with the prison authorities that they do not also get Sky Sports 2 and 3.
The limited choice of channels meant criminals missed out on watching Brighton play Liverpool in the Carling Cup last Wednesday night – and seeing Manchester City play Everton on Saturday.
The fight for "sports rights" led David Davies, the MP for Monmouth, to point out that many people outside prison could not afford the channels. "It beggars belief they are complaining about this – I haven't even got Sky Sports myself," he said.
Officials at HMP Parc in Bridgend, South Wales, a Category B prison, said prisoners were allowed Sky Sports 1 for good behaviour.
But one officer complained: "They can spend all day watching Sky Sports 1. But they're hacked off because they don't have Sky Sports 2 and 3. They've been moaning it is a breach of their human rights.
I didn't realise a Sky subscription was now part of our hooman rights? Learn something new everyday....thankyou Europe.Tags: None
