SENIORS AND PRISONERS
Dear Prime Minister,
Let’s put the seniors in jail and the criminals in a nursing home. This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies and walks. They’d receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they’d receive money instead of paying it out. They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly if they fell, or needed assistance.
Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them. A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell.
They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education.
Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ’s and legal aid would be free, on request.. Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens. Each senior could have a PC, a TV, radio and daily phone calls. Plus they wouldn’t have to pay a dime.
There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.
The "criminals" would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay $3,000.00 per month and have no hope of ever getting out.
Justice for all we say.
It is time for us grumpy old seniors to speak up!
And if you are not retired yet your day will come.
LOVE THIS!! i’m a paramedic in the US, and the way so many seniors are treated is awful, and sometimes inhumane. it’s horrid.

*random* I loved this! I’m a nurse and have worked with geriatrics and will be working at a jail in the near future and I have been thinking the same thing – prisoners have it much better in a lot of ways.
