Broadcast live footage from prisons on a pay-per-view
basis. The footage could either be streamed from CCTV
cameras or web cameras via the Internet. Paying
viewers might range from the merely curious, to those
fascinated by serial killers. Revenues could be used to
lessen the dependence on taxpayers to pay for the
167prison service, while constant public monitoring might
help ensure standards are met.

Produce a collection of artworks based on well-known
paintings or sculptures under the title ‘Better Art’. Van
Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ would be revisited, for example, and
the irregular shape of the vase corrected. While the
success of, or need for, such improvements would spark
some controversy, the poster series could offer kitsch
168appeal for the sophisticated art lover and welcome wall
hangings for those who simply prefer the new versions.
