If you have a lazy eight minutes to spare, check out the Holmes segment on prison food last night. A fairly vacuous piece stating the painfully obvious, nothing short of a three course meal will do for the poor victims that society has failed, hence they end up inside through no fault of their own.
To close the item Holmes has 2 ex cons on the show (the swastika on the neck was a nice touch lads). They bleat, "how many times do we have to be punished?". The answer is simple, just the once - for the duration of your lag. Don't know what you did, don't care - when you're in, you're getting thin.
To hear pricks like this feeling sorry for themselves pisses me off something shocking.
I couldn't help but think that Holmes missed an opportunity to ask, "do you want to go back to prison?" - I am sure they would have walked straight into (not being the brightest lights) "nup, no way, it sux, foods shit and the TV's only 29 inch man".
"Well done to the Department of Corrections, something is working well. This was Holmes tonight."
