But we know that rioting is often the only way in which important issues relating to the treatment of prisoners and their human rights can be raised by those affected and important and necessary changes started - cf. overcrowding in Strangeways, the start of Inside Time etc. <br /><br />Apparently ALL the adult prisoners are involved in the riot. Surely this is very unusual and should alert that there are serious issues here that must be addressed.Doug Paulleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011795866921494242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-73897928589507342762010-11-04T17:40:05.955+00:002010-11-04T17:40:05.955+00:00Medical hatch trade has nothing to do with being a...Medical hatch trade has nothing to do with being able to find a spliff, or not.
