I wonder if the general public subscribe to the view that prison is one big party?  On Friday the lady who cut my hair, certainly held this view. It isn't a hardship she told me, "they have TVs, play stations, 3 hot meals a day.  If it was up to me I'd throw away the key and let them rot!"  We disagreed and she told me I was wrong, because lots of the local prison officers come into the same place and they all say it is a party.

Having got passed this initial dumping of all her values across the salon floor, much like my greying hair.  We continued to talk through why I do the job I do.
