Sometimes the good old US starts to seem like an awfully nice place live. Take this story from the The Sentinel (a U.K paper) (h/t Brussels’s Journal)…

Four heroin addict prisoners received thousands of pounds in compensation last year after being forced to go cold turkey. Two inmates at Stafford Prison, one at Sudbury Open Prison and one at Dovegate, near Uttoxeter, were each paid £3,807.

What happens if an alcoholic gets thrown into prison? Can they sue if they don’t get a beer?

You have to feel sorry for the police officers who are working in that kind of environment. Especially as they seem to be understaffed.
