State Enables Prisoners getting High Safely

One of agk's fascinations are the mutual incomprehensibilities of each other between America and Europe. Here is one of those touchy-feely, social democratic, post-history European quirks that Americans would probably not understand: providing clean syringes to prisoners so they can safely inject drugs they are not supposed to have, compensating prisoners (by court order) for the withdrawal symptoms they suffer as a result of prisons forcing them to quit drugs "cold-turkey" and providing gay porn to gay prisoners in order not to discriminate against them, all in the UK. Something about lunatics running the assylum?
