Send all retirees to prison now!

Why should we send all the retirees to prison now? Because they gave us “free love” during the 1960s, and rock ‘n roll and Green Peace and suchlike things?

No, we should send all the retirees (pensioners) to prison and all the criminals to nursing homes because…

A guard would check on the retirees every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. 

This way the retirees would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.

They’d receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they’d receive money instead of paying it out.

They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.

Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.

They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education.

Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ’s and legal aid would be free, on request.

Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens.

Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls.

There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.

The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay $500+ per week and have no hope of ever getting out.
