Prison guards at the Jixi labour camp in China forced prisoners to play online games, such as World of Warcraft, in order to build up credits to exchange to gamers for real cash.

really, though? you'd rather be put to manual labour by a totalitarian regime than sit and play a video-game?

Actually, according to the article the prisoners were doing hard manual labor and then without rest being put straight to work at the computer. Love China.

^"Work" at the computer? More like the deserved rest after the hard manual labour.

Says the prison guards make around 600 euros ($850) per night from the prisoners.. It used to be paedophiles that stole your kids off the street.. now is just shrewd businessmen grabbing kiddies for their WOW sweatshops.
