Original Note:
Non payment of a TV license is not an offence that carries a penal sentence. The maximum penalty is a £1,000 fine. Prisons are required to have a TV license, funded by contributions from prisoners’ canteen sheets. https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/detection-and-penalties-top5#:~:text=The%20maximum%20penalty%20is%20a,white%20licence%20costs%20£53.50. https://www.familiesoutside.org.uk/publications/information-sheets/expect-starting-prison-sentence/#:~:text=Most%20prisons%20now%20provide%20in,coffee%20which%20they%20have%20purchased.
