observer Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Seems an increasing number of elderly folk are being sent to prison, to the extent that some prisons have set up "quiet" wings, an opportunity for free elderly care then?

Davy51 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Obviously very forward thinking by the government to release young thugs with community sentences to make way for these elderly delinquents . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Could provide an option to elderly folk being charged the bedroom tax - don't pay and get sent to prison and pay no rent at all ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Could provide an option to elderly folk being charged the bedroom tax - don't pay and get sent to prison and pay no rent at all ! . No more shipping the old folks off to some tatty old people’s home where they will have to pay £1000 a week and fight with other residents over what to watch on telly. In jail, they would have a little room for visitors, a TV, paid for by the government, heating paid for, their laundry done on a regular basis and wardens checking on them every hour or so, to make sure they were not at risk of suicide, ill or in need of medication. This way, they would have a warm room with their own personal space and toilet, three square meals a day – as in a good, healthy breakfast, a tasty two-course lunch and a hearty evening meal, not to mention exercise several times a day. If they were to fall over anywhere in the jail, there would be someone on hand to help them back on to their feet and make sure they weren't hurt. All for no cost – exactly what old people deserve.

Cleopatra Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Sounds good to me Alge. Get the oldies into prison and slap the crims into old folks homes. That would bejust about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Don't forget that they would also be able to keep up with technology and go on all sorts of courses PLUS days out as and when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
