Crims locked up in a Scottish prison have found a novel use for their PS3s: employing them as charging stations for the mobile phones theyâre not supposed to have.
Prison officials say that the inmates had been stealing computer mice from their labs (used for training and teaching courses), re-wiring them then slipping them into the USB ports on their PlayStations, from where they could then be used to charge their mobile phones (which are obviously outlawed).
As for why the PlayStation 3s arenât outlawed, well, theyâre actually reasonably common in the UK, used as a means of rewarding good behaviour and keeping inmates out of trouble
