Missouri Prisons Pull Violent Video Games

Posted by Zonk on from the kill-a-man-and-get-no-mario dept.

blueZhift writes "Missouri's most violent criminals will no longer be permitted to play violent video games that simulate the kind of offenses that resulted in their incarceration in the first place. Prison officials pulled the games, which included such killfests as Hitman: Contracts, once they were informed of their violent content. Science fiction and sports games were not pulled as part of the sweep, so more nerdy prisoners will not be affected by the changes."

    Yeah - 3 square meals, no work, no rent, oh... and that pesky forced-anal-raping and beat-downs daily*. But hey - free cable and video games!

    *from my watchings of Oz - my skinny, white, jewish ass would last all of 45 seconds in a prison.
