Everyone in PC speaks in hushed tones of the horrors of Pentonville as
if it were Eastham Prison Farm circa 1930. Yet Pentonville inmates are allowed to hold and smooch on their visiting babies. They're allowed unscheduled visits with lawyers who were there to visit other inmates.
Their cell doors are left not only unlocked but wide open. They're
allowed to wander around the prison freely, including into other
inmates' cells. They're allowed to wear clothing other than standard
prison issue. Although their cells lack plumbing and are sometimes
shared with another inmate, they're quite roomy by prison standards. The horror!
Well, there are regular beatings and the occasional rape which is pretty horrible.
But you are right, not much about Pentonville makes any sense. They also
seem to house every type of prisoner, pre-conviction, post-conviction, Federal, State, male, female, all together. It's nonsense.
