Story

Describing his daily routine, he said he got up just after 0700, except on weekends and holidays.

"I eat some granola and go to my workplace where I tutor high school-leaving candidates, one-on-one, though sometimes I have to deal with up to four at a time, around my desk, and talk with fellow tutors and other convivial people.

"I lunch around 11am with friends from education, work on e-mails, play the piano for 30 to 60 minutes, return to my tutoring tasks by 1pm, return to my unit at 3pm, deal with more e-mails, rest from 4pm to 6pm, eat dinner in the unit then, and go for a walk in the compound or recreation yard for a couple of hours, drinking coffee well made by Colombian fellow residents.

"I come back into the residence about 8.30pm, deal with e-mails and whatever, have my shower etc, around midnight, read until 1-1.30am and go to sleep. On the weekends it is pretty open."

Black said his time was also spent reviewing books for publications in the UK, US and Canada, giving lectures to students and learning the piano. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That sounds like it could be the daily routine of any retired person as old as Black. How is this kind of treatment "correctional" as the facility's supposed to be? So he's not enjoying the high life but how's this easy life going to provide him with the "correctional" element of life in prison?

if you don't commit violent crimes I have no problem with you going to a "nicer" prison. seems only fair
