Well, this reminds me of a story I heard a while ago that has to do with both trains and prisons. In an issue of the Railway Magazine from a few months ago, there was a story about a railway line and yard that was going to be reopened after being closed for something like 20 years. Part of this line happens to go past a prison that houses some of the most dangerous murderers and terrorists in Britain. Officials from the prison were very upset about this because the sound of the trains might disturb the prisoners' sleep. Get real people! Never mind the fact that there's a large wall around the prison which would probably block out a lot of noise anyway. In the article it said that prison officials said that some things that me seem like nothing to us can be very disturbing for people with unstable minds such as the prisoners' and could cause disturbances such as riots amoungst the prisoners. Well, that's why you have guards people. Perhaps they don't have guards in this prison and have to just have to hope for the best. <br /> <br />As far as Canadian prisons go, today on the news it talked about how the prison in Regina, Saskatchewan is the worst prison in Western Canada. It was built in 1913 and apparently because it's age, it is possible for prisoners to break through the walls. They've even had some escapes this way. That's not a comforting thought considering that I live quite close to Regina and go there often.
