So many times I read/hear people say when a criminal is put inside that he will be 'sorted' by other inmates or even mention of the wardens putting their bit in.
It happens very rarely indeed because the wardens are there to ensure the inmates are looked after and if there is a problem the warder is reprimanded and can even lose pay should such an incident happen on their watch.
Even the prisoners are watched and any sign of trouble between any of the other prisoners they are separated or watched more closely.
Prisoners today are not in there for punishment, they are inside for reformation.
As a result they live a better life than our own oldies that are put in old folks homes or pensioners living on the bread line in their own homes that they cannot afford to heat properly..
A recent case of this is the Indian that shot WPC Bethaninski 20 years ago and high tailed it back to India.
Now he is 75 years old and has health problems has returned to UK and gave himself up, he was 'awarded' life in prison.
He now has no health worries, heating bills, food bills, accommodation bills, no, nothing to worry about and all he has lost is his freedom but at that age and state of health will not worry him at all.
Our prisons are overcrowded and costing millions and a good percentage of the inmates are foreign killers with no doubt whatsoever of the crime they committed, some even boast of what they did so do not deserve to live, some even have special diets and places set aside for them as they have their own religion.
This country is an absolute disgrace.
