correct shaker,i'm saying though its low priority compared to other things, prisoners do get basic human rights, for instance if a con requires hospital treatment they aint put on a waiting list like you n me, they are treated within a couple of weeks sometimes even days, thats more rights than us.to me the money should be spent on improving the NHS for ALL people, i.e. cancer drugs that people cannot afford etc, as usual the press (as Mel said) are sensationalising this, people waiting months for treatment aint news its boring.some nicks are antiquated,no question,but theres "stuff" comes before improving there lot. and as for reform in an ideal world that would be great,but they do not reform very many,as statistics bear out,a very high % re-offend and return.
