I'm going to be branded a 'bleeding heart' again I know but if you widen your perspective then it's easy to see that improving conditions in prisons is of the greatest benefit. I'm not saying have them in luxury by any means, my worry is for the staff... it's a pressure cooker and with assaults up 48% it proves the draconian measures aren't working.

Prisons are already virtual 'hotels' - which is exactly WHY guests keep returning. The average prisoner is better fed and kept warmer than the average Old Age Pensioner, and have access to free Television, PC's - you name it.
The untenable position within prisons has but one cause - weakness.
When discipline went out of the window 40 years or so ago, prisons quickly became a joke.
My heart is breaking.
