Our 8 year old granddaughter, has a very enquiring mind, and wanted to talk about prisons for some reason. Among other questions, she wanted to know was what happens if you are in prison and it's your birthday, do you get a party? She was horrified when we told her no. We defended the mean attitude of the prison authorities, "You have done something wrong, you are being punished, you're not there to have a good time." She conceded that but obviously thought it was unthinkable cruelty "But still...it IS your birthday.'
We advised keeping out of prison. I think she will...now she knows the awful facts!
