SUNNY gaol outlook.
Inmates in some of Russia’s
most notorious gaols will soon be
able to soak up some focalised
sunshine via a sunbed, following
the government’s commitment to
improve gaol medical conditions.
According to reports, the
announcement comes on the
back of public revelations over the
poor state of the health system
within the nation’s gaols- braught
to light by the death of jailed
lawyer Sergai Magnitsky, and the
federal prison system’s admission
that they were, in part, to blame.
According to spokespeople for
the Russian Prison Service, at
present, around half of all the
nation’s inmates are ill (mostly
with HIV and TB), and cannot be
properly cared for because of
“outdated medical equipment”.
The government has since
promised to deliver a swathe of
facilities and equipment
including ultrasound systems, sun
beds, and even potentially spa
facilities such as mud baths.
THE fossil hunter.
A 26-year old South Australian
bar manager, Bradley Williams,
has told a local court that he was
searching for the remains of a
fossilised possum when he
drunkenly crashed his car through
a grave yard.
In a strange twist of events, had
Bradley not crashed and been
discovered by police, the
graveyard may have been his final
resting place, as he was so drunk
that he collapsed soon after
officers arrived, stopped breathing
and had to be resuscitated.
SCRATCH ‘n’ sniff.
Officials in the Dutch cities of
Rotterdam and The Hague are
handing out scratch ‘n’ sniff cards
to residents, in a bid to get them
to recognise the smell of marijuana,
and then dob in any neighbours
they suspect of growing it.
The move, according to reports,
is not designed to catch citizens
growing for personal use, but
rather the larger commercial
operations hidden in attics and
warehouses.
