Exactly. You can't prevent prison suicides.
In 2012, when she was home secretary, Theresa May stopped Gary McKinnon's extradition to the USA, on the grounds that he was a high suicide risk, and therefore the extradition violated his human rights. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_McKinnon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_McKinnon). If only I had similar expectations of our current home secretary.
- iso1631 5y agoWhat a crazy world where Theresa May is deemed to be a good home sec. I wonder how much pressure the Lib Dems put on her.
- ben_w 5y agoSeeing how much she changed from Home Secretary to Prime Minister, I think the problem is with the office rather than the person.
- antihero 5y agoIf you are Home Secretary your job is basically to be a humungeous authoritarian piece of shit, because if something happens due to the country's security being breached in whatever manner, your head is on the chopping block.
- hk1337 5y agoIf we’re talking about murder veiled in suicide then this has a good point but what about an individual’s right to end their own life, to choose how their life should end?
