A great idea

This was sent to me and I thought it was fitting & funny.

Here's the way it should be:

Let's put the seniors in jail; and
all the criminals in nursing homes.

This would correct two things in one motion:
Seniors would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.
They would receive unlimited free prescriptions,
dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs, etc.

They would receive money instead of having to pay it out.
They would have constant video monitoring, so they would 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.
All meals and snacks would be brought to them.

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.
They would have access to a library, weight/fitness room,
spiritual counseling, a pool and education - and free admission to
in-house concerts by nationally recognized entertainment artists.

Simple clothing (shoes, slippers, pj's) and legal aid
would be free, upon request.
There would be private, secure rooms provided for all with an
outdoor exercise yard, complete with gardens.

Each senior would have a P.C., T.V., phone and radio in
their room at no cost. They would receive daily phone calls.

There would be a board of directors to hear any complaints and
the ACLU would fight for their rights and protection.

The guards would have a code of conduct to be strictly adhered to, with attorneys available, at no charge to protect the seniors and their
families from abuse or neglect.

As for the criminals:

They would receive cold food.
They would be left alone and unsupervised.
They would receive showers once a week.

They would live in tiny rooms, for which they would
have to pay $5,000 per month, and

they would have no hope of ever getting out.

"Sounds like justice to me!"

Ha, that is funny, I agree.

Also sort of poignant in pointing out how out of balance things can be in a supposedly advance society.

If you have ever been in prison you would know that none of that is true not even free medical.

I've never set foot in a prison, but I've been in several nursing homes, and I know there are some that are nothing short of excellent. The staff cares for the residents with devotion far beyond what's required, or even expected.
If you ever need to place a loved one in a nursing home, find one of those!

To be fair, it's free if the prisoner is indigent.

Used to be all free....and provided by state employees (in Michigan, at least). Now it's all contracted.

If you go to the barber shop in prison and you don't want to come out looking like Bozo it's going to cost you A pack of cigerettes, If you want the laundry guy to use soap when he washes your clothesor if you have personal clothes that you want back it's going to cost you a pack a month., If you want clothes that aren't wore out it's going to cost you A pack., if you want shelves in your locker it's going to cost you a pack per shelf., if you want soft sole shoes its going to cost a pack., you say your alergic to wool and you need a cotton blanket cough up a pack., How about you need some heavy duty pain killers because the strongest thing medical will give you is 500mg of ibprufin., you want raw veggies for the meal your making in the cell house tonight the kitchen worker will charge you a pack., want your tv or walkman fixed price varies. if you want a strong cleaner to clean your cell instead of the watered down crap they give you? 3 cans of soda it will cost. thats some of the normal stuff then you have the stuff that the corrupt C.Os sell like cell phones, pecil thin joints, heavily cut cocaine, steroids, porn, and other stuff.
