In the US, some prisons pay the inmates to be in there. It's only like a couple dollars a day, but they do get money that they can buy tvs and electronics with. The point of this is it makes them purchase thinks like extra toilet paper and junk and its cheaper for the prisons to do it this way than to buy enough to give all the inmates. Some could save up to buy a ps2 although I think they might have to wait for a price drop to get a ps3.
