Personal care for murderers behind bars in old age
Murderers serving life sentences will be given new rights to personal care as they grow old in prison, under plans announced yesterday.
The Government's long-awaited social care White Paper promised to ensure that elderly prisoners would receive adequate support with daily tasks such as washing and dressing.
Andrew Lansley, the Health Secretary, and Paul Burstow, his Liberal Democrat deputy, have agreed to wide-ranging reforms of social care laws, which include plans for the first framework for providing care to prisoners.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
