Jail guilty of Dickensian squalor

Wormwood Scrubs prison is rat-infested and overcrowded, with some prisoners too frightened to leave their cells, inspectors have said.
A report by HM Inspectorate of Prisons found safety at the prison had deteriorated since a previous probe raised serious concerns.
The jail had "levels of Dickensian squalor", the Prison Reform Trust said.

Who cares?  All criminals should be kept in irons and made to break rocks.
