I agree with all that has been highlighted in the report (Staff shortages denied at jail deemed to be "in crisis", March 13) My issues are the waiting we endure as visitors and then only receiving a short visit. My son complains of only being out of his cell for a very short time, having his meals in his cell, not being allowed to use the showers and having to wash in his cell.
My biggest grievance is that my son is in severe pain with his teeth. The prison dentist refuses to take him to the hospital after diagnosing that two teeth need fillings, two need to come out and he has an infection. Besides the pain, the infection is worsening, my son is swallowing and spitting out puss.
The prison has a duty of care for all these men and it is depriving them of their human rights.
