The Prison Service told the Observer that the prison had strict procedures to deal with [injuries].
"If someone says he fell off his bed and hurt his leg, I report that [as self-harm]. If someone pushes someone, that's an assault. I have even recorded an assault when I caught someone flicking bogeys into another prisoner's pudding." - Observer (Sigrid Rabiger)
If we see an erect penis on screen (which until now few Britons will have done), or a woman's vagina, if you are shown penetration or oral sex, most of us would have a problem with maintaining an intellectual response to the drama. - Observer (David Browning)
