The Friday Joke - Jails and Nursing homes

JAILS AND NURSING HOMES

Ever thought what would happen if we put pensioners in jail and the criminals in nursing homes.

>  Pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies, and walks.

>  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.

>  Someone 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, a pool, education,

     spiritual counseling, and free admission to in-house concerts by nationally

     recognized entertainment artists.

>  Simple clothing, for example: shoes, slippers, PJ’s.

>  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 private computer, TV, radio, and phone 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 rights organisations 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 Pensioners and their families from abuse or neglect.

As for the criminals:

>  They would receive cold food and receive showers once a week.

>  They would be left alone and unsupervised.

>  They would live in tiny rooms for which they would have to pay £5,000 per month.

>  They would have no hope of ever getting out.

>  Their families would not bother visiting them once they were "settled in", saying "it just upsets them"

Sorry. It's not really a joke, is it.
