I often think that if I committed a crime and went to prison, it would be like a holiday from caring.
I only want to go to an open prison for just for a couple of weeks of undisturbed sleep, being fed, meeting other people, maybe doing a short course, having time to read a book and shave my legs, going on walks in the prison grounds. The open women's prison near my mum's has a farm and you can look after the animals....lovely.
Maybe if we made criminals become carers, the crime rate would plummet. But there would always be bleeding heart liberals bleating about the conditions: the torture of chronic sleep deprivation, daily violence, wiping poo off walls, heavy lifting, no breaks and isolation.
It's a funny old world
