So Jane they have to make do with a rude magazine and a bottle? Why? Is it to keep their women in line by keeping them fatly pregnant?

In history, prisons did not have the amenities of which you complain, so according to your carefully thought out argument HUNTERF there would have been no criminals or prisoners then. What's that? There were? oh, must be just another wind-up then.

La-la-la-la - so not listening smile

Ladies in prison? Visions of nice polite misunderstood girls wearing bustles. Of course they need all mod cons and comfy sofas.

I think they have those already Nfk
They wanted access to IVF - there was a thread about it.

I do agree though that prisons do seem just a little too soft. And aren't some blokes appealing for nooky rights too?

Ooh, you stirrer! The human rights lot and Brussels would never allow it. You'll be advocating hanging next!

Would this be for ladies' prisons as well?

Another thought I am having is prisons are not harsh enough to deter crime.
If beds were not provided and prisons were not heated this would save money and I am sure people would not offend again if they had to put up with these conditions for months or years.
There should be nothing like TV or any other non essential items.
