Interesting in that link is that the cost would be somewhere around £250,000 per prison. Yet, a portable one from <a href='http://www.ladyada.net/make/wavebubble/index.html'>Ladyada</a> is only $135. How many would they need? Maybe Limor should give them a call and swing them a deal. I believe Antinous was referring to this link.
