I have a friend who worked as a councellor for people who self-harmed in prisons in N.Ireland and it sounded pretty grim from what she could tell me. There are also a good number of people who are driven to suicide in prison don't forget and they are not all mass-murderers.
I can understand the out-rage expressed at inmates getting board and lodgings effectively for free -surely some system of working for your upkeep could be introduced -I don't mean breaking rocks, of course, but something that would be useful and count as some form of pay-back to society.

Most decent people would have no wish to be in prison,thats rather obvious to me,
n aint seen anyone mention hotels? the conditions n facilities in prison are better than many good,elderly people enjoy, is that difficult fer some to grasp?
