Prison And Corona

[nailit]

Anyone any idea how UK prisons are dealing with this?
Presumably no workshop activity, association time or much else?
Havnt seen anything in the media about how this is affecting the prison population or the staff involved?

[nailit]

Or excersice time.

They are just carrying on as normal !A Prisoner showing symtomes will be put into the Hospital area if nessesary !

It is rather quiet on this subject nails.

I think that in these troubled time that the authorities should release all the prisoners currently incarcerated......including the murderers and criminally insane, then allow all the elderly to move into the warm, cosy, well stocked, all expenses paid, safe space,TV licence free, rights protected, en suite units until the crisis is over. The trouble after will not be getting the criminals back behind bars but persuading the pensioners to leave when things get back to normal.

Grand idea, Togo!

Seriously, Nails, I think that prisoners might be the last on the list of Mr Johnson's daily damage limitation procedures. They can stew for a while.

He has much too much else to consider.

[Togo]

so that the demented old people can smear the walls with their own faeces rather than the cons.
and the more sentient olds can reflect
"drugs are so easy to get here - not like at home where I have to send my grand child out to get my pain medicine" (ter daah - geddit?) hash I mean

odder things hae happened

[Peter Pedant]

yeaH MY answer was serious as ever

[nailit]

It was a serious question but never mind!
Carry on feeling superior and righteous.

Don't cry. You should have put it in a different category if you didn't want, possibly, frivolous answers.
I'm sure the prison authorities have looked into different scenarios and measures to deal with them.
What would you like to see done?
