Wii keeps prisoners alive

34-year-old Ian Huntley, who was convicted of the murders of two young girls in England, is apparently spending his evenings doing something you probably do as well — he's playing Wii. In an effort to keep Huntley alive (he's attempted suicide multiple times), The People reports that Huntley has a Wii, as well as other luxuries, in his cell to keep him happy. Huntley had a GameCube, but complained that Nintendo's last console was out of date, and asked for months for a Wii.

He even gets to enjoy a little multiplayer — prison guards have been ordered to play along. As we figure visits to the ol' exercise yard are out, since Huntley's been attacked by other inmates before — we can't help but wonder if he won't start pestering them for Wii Fit next.
