Prison Dice

I read an interesting article about tabletop gaming in prison the other day. Since they couldn't have actual dice in prison, they made and used a spinner. Incredibly, I could not find one of these with google images, so I made one.
From inner-ring to outer-ring: d2, d3, d4, d6, d8, d12, d20. Why no d10? Use the d20 and ignore the tens digit.

In prison, they would draw this out on paper, paperboard, or cardboard. A paperclip was used as the spindle in the center. The empty, inner ink-tube of a pen was used as the needle. I have sized this image to fit onto a CD/DVD as I have some alternate ideas about having a fixed needle and spinning the wheel instead.
