Why the quote marks?

But one thing confuses me in your post: the guy is obviously mentally/psychologically ill; in that case, how can it be safe to let him decide the level of his self-harming? Anyone who has handled a razor blade knows they can slice through flesh. If a sane person can accidentally cut themself, then a person attempting to do so can just as easily cut themself worse than anticipated. And who foots the bill for the resulting treatment?
Maybe he is getting treatment, I don't think that was mentioned in the article. It would seem odd that he has access to a solicitor, but possibly no access to a doctor?

Hard to say but the Prison Service's provision of welfare has in the past been found lacking. I find it hard to believe that this case would have come to court had appropriate treatment been available. One has to wonder if prison is indeed the right place for him.
