Chinese prisoners made to farm gold in MMORPGs?

[CM30]

Okay, using prisoners in a labour camp to farm gold to sell to make the prison's bosses rich is pretty sneaky even by the best definition of the word. It's near enough the goverment trying to profit off selling stuff in online games;

What a very highly unusual punishment.
Definitely not cool by anyone's means, but...
I think the warden needs to go, though.

Eh. Apart from the whole beat-them-if-they-don't-reach-their-quota thing, it's no worse than a lot of other prisons across the world (like America's, for instance). In fact it may even be better; it's less physically demanding.

Massive Multipayler Online Role Playing Game... let me guess you play games on your consoles and less on your PC



And with this news about the prisoners, I can see alot of dumb little kids thinking this would be fun. Kunino is right that its way better than what other prisoners go through. Would still suck having to play the same game(that you might not even like) continuously for 12 hours at time for god knows how many months.. you probably start thinking about shanking yourself after a while

Yeah I definitely agree with you there.

Ever have one of those moments where your playing some game and your spending all night trying to get something and you eventually just go to bed because your bored out of your mind and almost sick? Just imagine that but you can't go to bed, and your not getting anything out of it.

God I would rather do the physical work believe it or not.
