| 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.
