So you want to put old people in solitary confinement?

[Chrissy Ohman]

Here is some food for thought... We should place the elderly in prisons. They will get a shower a day, video surveillance in case of problems, 3 meals a day, access to a library, computer, t.v., gym, doctors on-site, free medication if needed. Put criminals in nursing homes. They'll get cold meals, lights out at 7pm, 2 showers a week, live in a smaller room and pay rent at $4,000.00 a month. It's pretty sad that we treat prisoners better than the elderly. Make it a great day! Don't do the crime.
