I understand why celebs and police get seperate prisons (or wings of a prison)
the state does have a duty of care for the inmates - otherwise to let a celeb into the genral prison population is basically asking for someone to have a pop at them and get celeb status inside the prison.
I would not of had a problem with PH doing community work, and then being locked up over night - as long as the commnity work was for the community , something a bit grotty, smelly etc -
but one hopes that this short spell inside will do her some good
on another note
someone mentioned the race card ???
Here in the UK this card is rarely raised any more, that does not mean there is no race issuses - Black, White, whatever - probably now its more a religious issue -Muslims raising this card - but it is mainly muslim who raise it the Seeks don't-
the only slight race issue (there are hotspots for race problems in the UK ) is genrally the cricket when its india verus Parkistan then it might get a bit heated -
but the Black/White issue has been shrinking for quite a while , there is still of course a great division between a White and a Black person - in jobs promotion etc but this is shrinking, and i think this is due to 2 causes
1 those black people who want to get on in life are working for it and not expecting a soft ride
2 those who are in charge are a different generation from the previouse one and are more open minded
when these two ideas work together then more black people will be in positions of authority and this hopefully will be reflected across the nation.
now there are some lazy people (Black and White) who are milking the system, and BNP try to focus this on the black society, this failed , so they have switrched to the Asian /Muslim society
most enlighted people can see through this,because as a nation we have matured to see through this bullshit.
I ramble
