Explain how my home PC would benefit? I am at a loss on that one.

You do it just like anyone sets up a wireless network at home. A router sends wireless signal to whatever puter you have in your house, wether it be a laptop or PC. A card, or in my case, a antenna that goes into a place on your puter. A wireless card to pick up WiFi can go right into a home PC just as well as in a laptop that people take to Starbucks or wherever. Like at home here, I have a router, granted it is connceted to DSL, then have another wireless antenna type thing that just screws into my pmica slot (or whatever it's called, sorry, I am not up on alot of terminology, lol) on other PC's that I want to be connected to the network. So, wether you would have to have a main router to Pick up the WiFi and then relay it to your pc's via what I have, or if just a wireless card can be directly installed into your home PC I think would depend on circumstances.
As far as the prisoners doing it, the problem I have read is, that they can't order the prisoners to work anymore, it is on a volunteer basis, a little bit of money involved, but evidently not enough to make most inmates to get out of their bunks and do anything,which I find unbelievable, but if that is so, not enough want to do any work. Have always been a believer in mandatory work if you are a prisoner, but... so goes our system.
