First of all, since none of you actually read the article, its the inmate wing of a hospital, not even an actual jail. Please refer to article and read the VERY FIRST LINE.
the article none of you read wrote:He said sheriff's deputies will not let him take a shower -- he cleans himself with wet wipes -- and have taken away his television, radio, personal phone and computer.
Second of all, why would a hospital take away someones tv and other items of comfort? They let criminals have these things in REAL jail right? Simple logic will give you the answers. Notice the article uses the words "he said"....this obviously means that the journalist has been nowhere near the man! Its easy to see how this possible dramatization would be good for the news outlet (more subscribers, readers) and for the man (sympathy). If this man was actually under these conditions, there would be a legal intervention and possible lawsuit. A lawsuit would possibly get this man hundreds of thousands of dollars, and unless his acusations were groundless, he would surely proceed.
Another possibility is that the man (who has show his irresponsibility by not following the orders of his doctor by not taking percautions with his illness) is so enraged by his confinement that he has been violently throwing things about his cell. Thats the only reason REAL criminals and even mental patients have their personal effects removed during their confinement. I just think that there would be no reason to imprison this man and to take away his entertainment unless he had brought it upon himself.

well if its in england they may be scared of another outbreak like say for instance RAGE, you know when the chimpanzee bit one of them and it spread everywhere in 28 days serious stuff. You know i have read alot of news articles from that site and i dont think its a very reliable source, to get down to the gnitty gritty. Infact a teacher with a doctorate degree at my school would not allow us to use information from those news sites as examples when writing argumentative essays or having a debate in class. Personally i think its absurd. But thats just my oppinion, ive heard some pretty gnarly way out of line stuff from that site.
