Yup, so society has no problem with nerds. They have no problems with prisoners. Somewhere in that equation nerd prisoners bother them. I really would like to see the study that says D&D promotes dangerous behavior in already dangerous criminals. www.nytimes.com/2010/01/27/us/27dungeons.html

Wow.
So hanging out with a bunch of other nerds playing D&D makes you participate in "gang like" behavior? Maybe we should all get matching pencil protectors for our pockets to show our colors.

Well, we already worship the devil, what worse could be thought of us? On the other hand, the people that are in prision are there for a reason. They aren't there to have fun, they are there to pay their debt to society. If they wanted to play games, they should have thought about that before they commited their crimes. Personally, I don't like the idea of the softer prisons. Each prisoner should be doing things that contribute to society in some way. Downtime should be comfortable but basic.

I agree with Limy on this one, though I'll also include Education as something else they should be doing.

Mhm. The whole D&D gang violence thing is really just silly, but I agree with the court ruling. Limuen has a right point. Prisons should be more like prisons, and less like the local nerd's basement. They gave up their rights to geek out when they commited a crime.
We disown you! Criminal scum!
P.S. I wonder how the guards will react if they start up a Shadowrun session?
