Of course the big energy suppliers would never allow this to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I really like that idea Similar to my suggestion about Gyms.. But with an added advantage that the more Electricity a prisoner generated, the earlier he would be released. It's a win win situation.
