Clearly many of those individuals should have been in a psychiatric hospital. I feel sorry for prison staff having to deal with such situations when they clearly are not qualified to do so.

The staff were impressive in dealing with some very disturbed young people. <br /><br />It is all very sad but given the lack of mental health hospitals it is inevitable that we will continue to have such numbers....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-16371205883329627242009-09-27T18:07:45.140+01:002009-09-27T18:07:45.140+01:00Good point, well made.
