prisoner heroin

It's good to be a British prisoner: the human right to heroin/methadone
In Britain, if you're a murderer or a bank robber or whatever, and you're also addicted to heroin, your prison has to keep supplying you (for a while, anyway, at least according to one court). Forcing ya to go cold turkey is a "human rights violation." Daily Telegraph

On that logic, they should arrest people who quit smoking or drugs cold turkey for violationg their own human rights.

I seriously mean it this time. I'm going to move to England and commit a crime. I need to go to prison there, as it sounds better than my life here in "the outside". You wouldn't believe how hard it is to scrimp and save to feed my heroin addiction.
