SUGGESTION is to put our seniors in jail and the criminals in nursing homes.

This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies, free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment 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 counselling, pool, and education.

Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJs and legal aid would be free, on request.

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

And the criminals?

Well, they'd get cold food, be left alone and unsupervised, lights off at 8pm and showers once a week.

They'd live in a tiny room for which they would pay $5000 a month with no hope of ever getting out.
