Letter from Steve Halden

9:32am Tuesday 9th February 2010

MERSEYSIDE prison has been overcharging inmates for having televisions in their prison cells.

They charged £1 per person a week, instead of £1 per cell.

1,400 inmates are to get a rebate of the money that they overpaid.

The news that inmates are enjoying televisions in their cells, is yet more evidence that Britain is soft on crime.
