Question

Well, sort of. I see there's been some discussion lately regarding VIII and Rimmer in particular, which I er... missed. And well... There is this thing in BITR that always bothered me. In the trial scene the posse have to sign a consent form to be tried by mind probe using psychotropic drugs, but Rimmer never does. Can that be legal? Without Rimmer's trial they would have nothing on the rest either. Personally I believe they have been wrongfully imprisoned. They should be released immedately!

*glances up*
I will go quietly away now.

Hm. I don't think it's prohibitive in terms of space. Supermax facilities are set up to have a large precentage of beds that used for single convicts in isolation.

I've heard from various sources that rapists are often isolated due to them being picked out by the rest of the population and assaulted or killed.

I'd have to try to trace my internet steps to find them though. Which may mean I can't.

I've heard that for child molesters, but not rapists in general. Then again, I've tried to minimize the time I spend in prison.
