Regarding the first post...THAT IS DISCUSTING! Prisoners should have NO rights while thay are in prison except that they get feed and watered, and maybe even walked alittle - depending on how much an animal they have been. They are in prison because thay have infringed on someone else's rights, and if prison infringes on theirs then so be it...hopefully they will find out how it feels. And one thing i really can't stand in this country is when someone is sent down with a "life" sentence...they never bloody serve it, there's always this appeal thing going on!!
Well said Leadfingers (on that righs and responsibilities bit).
I think we are living in a compensation culture, you can't even sneeze nowadays with out someday trying to sue for polluting the air with germs with could have serious effect on their health which may make they ill off work which means loss in income...you get the rest.
