Pay For Stay Jails

Are 'pay for stay' jails an opportunity to pay restitution or not really punishment?

In California, prisoners can pay an extra $100 in cash for an upgraded prison cell, with nicer, cleaner rooms away from hardened inmates. Is this helping pay off their debt to society - literally - or detracting from the whole idea of punishment?

The tyranny of consumer choice - is it at an end? A new drink for the indecisive keeps the flavour a surprise right up until the end - the show checks out the Whatever and Anything drinks. Plus, the latest trends from Belgium where eating truffles earns you cuddles!
