HOSPITAL patients are paying $11 a day to watch television while crims behind bars get it for $2 a week.
The Sunday Mail can reveal prisoners watch live rugby league matches, cricket and other free-to-air channels in their jail cells for a paltry 29 cents a day while patients in Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital pay 35 times as much.

Tbf $2 a week is probably half that prisoners weekly wage

Not quite. They get around $12 a week in NSW if they don’t have a prison job. Most don’t have TVs in the joint I work at because they have to buy them and can’t afford them. Then they get stolen or broken on someone’s head. TVs in NSW prisons are not fixtures in cells. They don’t even have them in common areas.

Surely’s article is about Qld, I realise that, but NEVER believe journo articles about prison. In 20 years working inside I have NEVER seen a halfway true story. Why? ‘Cause nothing gets out and they make most of it up to be sensationalist and sway public opinion.

It’s funny the shit they publish.

The whole prison system (NSW at least) is a zoo.

Gee mate, I have a new found respect for you. Working in a prison must be a bloody tough job.
