i dont think id say watching tv in prison is some vacation. Not all people that go to prison are bad people. My cousin got into a bad car accident which killed two people. only him and one other kid survived. the kid said my cousin was the driver. although my cousin doesnt even remember being the driver and his injuries werent the same as what a driver would have. The cops supposeobly did stuff and lied about it in court etc.
He got into an accident and theres no proof he was even the driver and now hes in prison for 4 years. I went to the sentencing trial while i was on vacation. Admitteldy he has a poor driving record with alot of wrecked veicles etc. but did not deserve to go to prison for an accident in which the family of one of the kids that was killed was out for revenge. One of the members from their family even spoke at the trial and said "eye for an eye".

That truly sucks. I realize that there are many people who may not belong there, but obvioulsy my comments weren't directed at them.

There are alot of things people can learn on the internet etc and if they were using it for that purpose i see no harm. what good is it doing to have someone just sit in there. if they can gain SOMETHING good!

I don't understand how your reference to learning from the internet is germaine here, but the concept of punishment has some merit which too many uber left wingers have lost sight of. That's not to say there shouldn't be some remedial training of some sort, hopefully some sort of job skills.
