Scanning various interwebby sites saw a header on heat pumps for prisons while hospital misses out.

Such predictable bullshit tales threaten my stasis so passed on by.

Then one of my informants brought to my attention it was Mangaroa Prison near Bridge Pa and the Hastings Hospital that initiated this little furore.

Having family and some truly good friends in the food basket of Hawkes Bay, yours truly is on the case.

So Type in “Prisons get heat pumps, hospitals don’t” and what comes up, a detailed discussion that is exactly what’s happened.

Now Heart rate elevated, sweaty, anxious, all while reading such rubbish.

For starters Prisoners are there because they are bad people and apart from murderers who seem to fail to pass go and collect $200, stats suggest an average prisoner needed the points from around 47 convictions to win a place in the four star accommodations.

That is some bashings, some thieving, some drug dealing, some more assaulting, just the sort of bloke one might feel a slight shiver should an errant daughter bring such a soul home to meet the parents.

A prisoner is complaining of cold or heat, just tell it to harden up and keep their nose wiped so they might just get out some day. Meanwhile some poor bugger has collided with the health system and finds themselves in a hospital then spare no expense from the always limited funding available and do the Nations utmost best to ensure comfort and clinical standards are applied with vigour.

Gawd I need a lie down now.
