                                            **                  A US county sheriff has started a program he calls "Pedal Vision", in which inmates pedal stationary bikes to generate electricity for television sets.**


              The bikes are customised to turn on connected TV sets once inmates at Phoenix's [Tent City Jail ](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_city)pedal enough to generate 12-volts of electricity. An hour of pedalling equals an hour of television.

I'll take one!
