Why all the fuss about prison 'chain gangs' working on the railways?

Guru has long believed that those serving time at Her Majesty's pleasure could be put to better use than simply watching daytime TV and making shanks out of chair leg splinters.
Why, there's litter to pick up, chewing gum to unstick from pavements, graffiti to scrub, potholes to fill and, plainly, railways to mend.
All this could be done at low cost in fetching striped uniforms.
Guru is putting in a special request for Paris Hilton to work on his street.
