I have anoth...An interesting insight, thanks Ben. <br /><br />I have another question, is there a definite benefit in giving up smoking whilst in prison such that the need for tobacco etc. isn't another variable you have to factor into the already complex equation of existing in prison? Did you start smoking before or after you were incarcerated, and would you like to give up? Does it provide some form of contentment or salve? I never found it to do so.<br /><br />I'm reminded of Brian Haw, inspirational guy who has lived on the pavement in the middle of the traffic island of the three lane continuous madness of Parliament Square, for over 8 years now as a solid reminder to politicians that they sanctioned an illegal and utterly inhuman series of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He smokes like a chimney, and I have to wonder if it forms part of a coping strategy for his unusual living conditions. Perhaps there are parallels to life in prison.<br /><br />Nosey bugger aren't I.Doug Paulleyhttp://www.kingqueen.org.uknoreply@blogger.com
