(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 01, 2011 ) New York, NY -- Prisoners in UK correctional institutions are not only better looking, but are, “kinder and sweeter” than their United States counterparts according to polls carried out by www.prisonhookup.com over the Halloween weekend.
Shooting the messenger
By 1387 votes to 517 it was determined that whilst United States convicts do have the “bad boy charm,” which psychologists believe leads many women to seek men behind bars for intimate encounters, UK male prisoners are more open to the ‘control reversal dynamic,’ and are a more caring, kind, and indeed indeed handsome version of the ‘unobtainable man’ being sought.
Responding to questions about the ethics behind allowing prisoners to find love from behind bars; Prisonhookup.com CEO Aaron Fraser said, “It is important to remember that prisoners are people too, society should be happy that these guys and girls have a means to find love, and the hope of rehabilitation. As for our United States prisoners being ugly though, I wouldn’t want to be that messenger.”
Control Measures
The dating site has been connecting convicts (male and female) with ‘companions’ on the outside for pen-pal style relationships since 2009 with 1,000’s of connections made. This is in spite of the efforts of many authorities and lobbyists in the USA and the UK against prisoners attaining a luxury lifestyle that includes web-surfing in the clink.
Control of prisoner interactions with the outside world has only had a limited effect:
More than 2,000 mobile phones, many with Smart Phone technology have been confiscated from the State Prison in Vacaville, California over the last five years alone, and United States Prison Authorities attempts to block Wi-Fi signaling have only had limited success, as desperate for romance cons have still managed to use the site which boasts the tagline, “Crime put them in there, but love is going to bust them out.”
It is believed they are now connecting via the latest smartphone devices’ Wi-Fi tethering capability, creating wireless hotspots that can connect up to eight fellow romance seeking inmates with the web from the comfort of their cells. UK prison authorities are enabling on one front and hindering on the other. Wi-Fi enabled PS3 gaming devices are currently banned for their prisoners, buta 2006 scheme called 'Con-Nections' delivered donations of reconditioned wireless-enabled laptops to the; ‘hunkier’ UK prison population.
Stephanie Cooper, the founder of the scheme stating, “People are always saying prisoners need to be rehabilitated, but prisons don't always make that easy. The only influences around them are often fellow inmates, and we believe accessing the internet and virtually experiencing the wider world can only be beneficial in broadening their horizons."
Female Prisoner Poll Findings
The male prisoners have certainly been broadening their horizons, but incarcerated females both sides of the pond have found love matches too whilst serving time. There were more than 900 male respondents to the poll also, their verdict on the dating site profile pics (many posed in unflattering prison outfits) didnÂ’t represent all bad news for the United StatesÂ’ incarcerated.
USA females in lock up were found to be on a par with UK Jailbirds regarding looks. The numbers of USA male website users actually visiting these femme fatales exceeded the number of UK males doing the same, but figures on the number of conjugal visits made are not available.
The numbers of conjugal visits for UK male prisoners are higher than those made to United States penitentiaries for obvious reasons. However Aaron Fraser who also operates a host of other unconventional dating sites under www.gothamdatingpartners.com said, “US prisoners may find better luck on our sister site www.uglypeopledate.com ”
