I suppose for those serving long sentences the cell becomes a home. Does it disturb one when moved to another prison? I keep reading about overcrowding and the continual movement of prisoners often into unsuitable prisons because of the pressure on the system.<br /><br />I am glad when I read that a modicum of dignity can be achieved by having a little space to oneself. I regularly watch the Crime Channel on Sky and am horrified by the cages used in some US states. Our system may not be perfect but we would not resort to such degrading practices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-80815003752657131042009-09-28T00:08:13.519+01:002009-09-28T00:08:13.519+01:00Prisons, and the 'prisoner experience', ar...Prisons, and the 'prisoner experience', are more complicated than I thought!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
