I'm sure some of his fellow inmates could help him out with the hot water problem.....very, very hot water.....that may or may nor accidentally get splashed around his nether regions.

He's lucky! If I'd had my way they would have chopped it off and left him peeing into a bag through a tube!!!

It's a pity he didn't consider his victims human rights.

Compensation for prisoners is now a very common thing, see here:

It seems we do more to keep the prisoners happy than the victims.

What a strange world we have created for ourselves.

VHG's link is a bit short on detail. If a prisoner was crippled for life by the negligence of the prison service, you'd expect him, rightly, to have a substantial claim.

The original link about the paedophile is laughable !

Naturally I'm saddened by the case highlighted, but you have to see these things for what they are.
If you place people in strict disciplined areas for their punishment then they're going to get back anyway they can just to cause mischief and annoyance. I'm not excusing this behaviour it's just human nature.
These cases always seem to involve men's prisons, how many women produce such claims?
Are their prisons that much better equipped?
