Solution to poor get nothing, the rich get Prison Hospital

Here is a solution to the prison hospital problem where the rich and powerful enter faking illnesses to avoid being with the poor and the downtrodden in over crowded and not so comfortable conditions in the prisons. As most of the prisoners would like to spend time in the prison hospital, why not convert the entire prison to a hospital ward where the Doctors will visit them individually and treat them like at the general hospital. Otherwise it is not fair by the people who do not have social status and influence to enter the prison hospital.

There may be hundreds having high blood pressure and diabetes in our prisons and they languish in prison wards under difficult condi- tions because they are poor in every sense of the word. Here I am reminded of the proverb ‘Duppathkamath waligeya nethi gona weni’’ (poverty is like a bull without a tail). Anyway it appears that the poor have a better backbone than the rich as they don’t fake illness to enjoy prison hospital comforts.

Gone are the days where acts of bravery were displayed by prisoners like Weera Puran Appu, Madduma Bandara and Henry Pedris. The weak resort to behaviour unthinkable in civilized society to pervert justice insulting even their parents, children and the schools they studied. Via email
