Argos means quality
Some of Britain's most dangerous prisoners have complained about poor television reception and delays in receiving goods from the Argos catalogue. Inmates raised the issues in a list of grievances with managers at the maximum-security Full Sutton Prison, near York, which holds category A and B prisoners and has a capacity of 613.
Full Sutton's joint consultative committee aired the gripes during a regular meeting with managers. They included problems of goods ordered from Argos not being delivered for up to two weeks.
A prison service spokesman said: "By improving prisoners' quality of life, the prison facilitates the rehabilitation of offenders."

"[The fire brigade] told me as far as they were concerned, it would have been too dangerous to put their ladders that high up," said Mrs Bailey, Lily's owner.
Tony Stoddart explained: "We don't find many skeletons of cats up trees, so the risks far outweighed the benefits in this case."
