Anyone Here Not Long Out Of Prison?

Just wondered if UK prisoners are routinely offered Vit D tablets as they get very little sunlight.

[davebro]

would they want to admit if they were?

That's an interesting question Barry. I wonder if you'll get any helpful answers.

barry, I was going to suggest in view of your unusual question that you should get out more but of course that's the whole point of your question isn't it? :o)

[ummmm]

They are probably taking them in prison.

My cousin is currently in prison and they've taken time off prisoners sentences because of covid. Only non violent crimes...

if they are, they should probably keep taking them: sunlight levels have been pretty low this summer.

davebro - there are quite a few ex-postmasters (and mistresses) recently released from prison after being wrongfully imprisoned. No reason for any of them not to admit being in prison.
Anyway, some ex-cons see jail time as a badge of honour.

ummm, ask him if he's being given the Vit D3 if you get the chance.
