Indeed - that's the same treatment that's offered in our public health sytem right now, with triage addressed by making poor people line up outside from about 5am before the doors open a few hours later.
Seems there could be a lot of complaints in the offing, but yes, I've heard about this too.

Untreated dental problems expose the people who suffer them to any number of other, potentially severe, health problems. For which we as taxpayers eventually pay a lot more money than we would have spent in the first place just fixing prisoners' teeth.
Mind you, couldn't you probably say much the same for the general populace?
The general populace has a choice, and would likely act faster than someone being denied a basic medical treatment. Maybe prisoners would have a case with the HDC? Or the Human Rights Commissioner.
Periodontal disease for example has long been associated with Heart Disease and mortality.
This seems, as Russell said, cruel and unusual punishment.

The threads finally gone to the dogs. Only took 50 pages, 1250 comments, but it was almost inevitable.
Love lots. ;-)

Cheers everyone. Was a funny thing, and a real nostalgia moment being back in the B Studio after 20 mumble years.
It worked though. As a result of the show the workshop is now pretty much full, with only a couple of places left.

Sorry for your trouble Hebe. I cleared the car park, in case you want to try again.
I don't hang out in cat threads quite as much as I should for some strange reason. ;-)
I did give the Colin photo some lovin' elsewhere though.

This is definitely the first time I've ever been referred to in this way. What does it mean again?
Just kidding. Thanks Jackie.
