Should non-essential luxury items be removed from prisons?

Asked by NerdyKeith (5489points) February 19th, 2016

Such as computers, television and video games. I originally asked this question on Yahoo two years ago. What prompted it was a news story involving a complaint from Anders Brevik, he was complaining that the playstation supplied to his prison wasn’t up to date enough and even threatened to go on hunger strike until he got what he wanted.

Should prisons perhaps do away with these luxury facilities and items and replace them with educational and working programs for prisoners?
