On balance I'd have thought that it'd be easier running jails full of frail old men, anyway. McGrath, March 11 6:14

I watched a documentary the other night that dealt with lifers. They mentioned that caring for elderly and old people is three times more expensive.

They reported on one very interesting development: They built and are running at least one prison for old prisoners only. Some young(er) prisoners were the ones who were responsible for the care and nurturing of the old ones.
