(From The Associated Press)
The warden of the CLAYTON COUNTY CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION wants permission to spend money for a "management tool" -- satellite TV to keep his 226 inmates occupied watching football.
Warden FRANK TAYLOR is asking the Clayton County Commission to let him sign up for direct-broadcast satellite service for less than $100 a month.
It would be funded with money collected at the prison's commissary and pay phones, which last year amounted to $41,000.
"The reason is MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL is now on cable," he said.
"Although it might seem funny, when you have 90 percent of inmates watching something, it is a management tool for the institution."
