Um where did you get the idea that prison staff or any other fro that matter INVADE a persons privacy, unless they are doing themselves harm ?? The cell doors are genereally locked at night in a prison so you just get a flap to look through. The staff are NOT ALLOWED in unles they can see eveidence of self harm. THey most definetly don't wake them up !!

Same as in hospital. A suicidal pateinet nees care not confronting his behavour.

I agree that people with self harm., low self esteem and various other conditions including depression need help. At the HOme Office they have now brought in skilled psychologists, counsellors and a host of other qualified people to aid with reduction in suicide in prsons. We are stil waiting for funding in the NHS.
