My gut reaction would be quite similar however, with the
        attempts at reform programs etc. surely the decision as to them
        interacting through the 'net (whether in games or other) is a
        decision for the powers within the prison system.

Really its another privilege that they no-doubt have to earn, as
        well as whatever activity they do to get the money to
        participate in commercial games.

Whatever my gut reaction, my head would over rule it and I can
        see no logical reason for refusing such players. No doubt I'd
        have a fit if the likes of Moyra Hindley tried to join the game
        though, but then I guess I'm just human after all <g>
