Well I believed like everyone else that the TORIES in 1996 had got rid of the "Slopping Out" in prisons. But it looks as if the last few cells under New Labour were never closed down.

Surely in a humane society they should be closed down immediately and those cells turned over to other uses if they cant be converted.

With the expected drop in Prison numbers this should not be an issue.

I hope that those involved with Prisons now campaign hard for this to be stopped in 2010. Prison should not be a holiday camp - but the basic right to go the toilet should be given to any human being.

this won't bother the "they lose all their rights blah blah..they have it too easy etc etc " crowd.
