Re: HMP Bronzefield prisoner segregated for more than five years


	Quote: Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "This shocking case of treatment, which appears to amount to torture, in an English prison should shame ministers who tolerate the over-use of custody for women and consequent poor treatment. "Her Majesty's chief inspector is absolutely right that specialist care outside of the prison walls needs to be developed for the handful of women who pose particular challenges."

It should be treated as torture and the prison governor should be arrested and charged with that offence. Until there are consequences for Prison officers and the companies that own them they will continue to deteriorate. The last thing we want is a prison system that benefits from more and more prisoners. This woman might be unsuitable for release because of the effects of the torture and so be a massive burden on the NHS.

On the other hand...


	Quote: "But why in this day and age are women with such complex needs transported like cattle and dumped in prison

Because they broke the law and have been convicted of said crime

What do they suggest? A stretch limo to a health spa instead?

I do think that Prison is appropriate for many of them, but what this woman went through was torture. At one point a few years ago one in eight women were in prison for non payment of a TV license. Do they really need to be locked up?
