tell that to many pensioners, who often get treated worse than animals.
Its what i suggested before, swap the prisoners, put them in care homes, let them see what that's like, and then put the pensioners in the prisons, leave all cells unlocked of course, on tap tv, and no need to worry about extortionate heating bills, three square meals a day, a cuppa with bisquits at the end of it, companionship, and the guards will look a lot kindlier on them i'm sure.
And you won't need so many, the surplus guards can be deployed in said care homes, job done.
