    The following article appears in todays KOL but it fails to mention the money spent in immigration detention centres and how that compares with the cash spent on illegals.

    Most teens have their TVs and games consoles confiscated when they are being punished, but not in Medway's youth prisons.

    More than £160,000 has been spent on entertaining inmates at HMP Rochester and Cookham Wood young offenders' institute in two years.

    The taxpayers' cash has been spent on luxuries such as video games, DVD players and board games, figures obtained by the Messenger show.
    The revelation comes just days after a court heard 32 youths went on a rampage at Cookham Wood, in Borstal, after a TV ban.

    Six inmates were sentenced after about £10,000 of damage was caused in the six-hour riot, sparked by the governor cutting down their viewing time.

    More than £50,260 was spent on entertainment at Cookham Wood - which has inmates aged 15 to 18 - in the two years to last April.
    The money was used to buy televisions for common rooms, Play Station 2 consoles and games, table tennis equipment, board games, DVD players and DVDs.

    At HMP Rochester, in Fort Road, which houses inmates aged 18 to 21, £113,320 has been spent during the same period.
