Put the Old Folks In Jail

In a crazy kind of way ... this makes a little sense !!
Let ' s put the seniors in jail and the criminals in an old folks home . This way the seniors 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 .
A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell .
They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose .
They would have access to a library , weight room , spiritual counseling , pool , and education . Simple clothing , shoes , slippers , P . J .' s and legal aid would be free , on request .
Private , secure rooms for all , plus an exercise outdoor yard with gardens .
Each senior could have a P . C ., a T . V ., 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 . Since they ' re older people in the rooms , fewer guards would be required thus - saving the taxpayers millions .
The " criminals " would get cold food , be left alone , and unsupervised . Lights off at 8pm , and showers twice a week . Live in a tiny room , pay thousands of dollars per month and have little hope of ever getting out .
