Give them all antennas for all I care, cable is too expensive to waste on criminals. The way things work now criminals in prison make more money than mid-level workers.
Erm......

I don't have statistics on what criminal make in terms of income for making licnse plates, etc., but I think they only get perks in prison or a less-that-minimum wage amount. And, I note that ANY prison is funded by tax dollars. I do agree, of course, that prisons should be horrible, and should not be a place where the wrongdoers can find some solace in cable TV.
