According to BBC Ceefax,
"There has been a significant increase in the number of prisoners who have killed themselves in jails in England and Wales, figures have shown.
So far this year, 50 inmates have taken their own life, compared to 67 for the whole of 2006.
Penal reform campaigners say this is a reflection of the pressures on staff because of prison overcrowding.
The Prison Service argues it has improved staff training and implemented new procedures".
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.
