Sorry if my post was confusing. I was only asking for opinions on whether the new shower head would be ok to use with a longer arm.

Don't you get in trouble from taking pictures in the (admittedly nicely painted and tiled) prison shower room?

No. Only if you take pictures of inmates then you are in trouble.

I thought the only real trouble was bending over to pick up the soap?

With soap is a bit more comfortable.
