Sunbeds for inmates

Sunbeds for inmates.
A Russian prison is to install sunbeds and mud baths to improve the health of its inmates.
Sergei Telyatnikov, head of Moscow’s Butyrka remand prison, said inmates would also be allowed to use Skype to make voice and video calls to relatives. Russia’s prisons have been criticised as being overcrowded and badly managed with poor medical facilities. Mr Telyatnikov was quoted as telling the Vesti FM radio station: “We are developing additional medical services… and even sunbeds will be put in place.” He said the sunbeds would be installed by the end of the year, but that prisoners would have to apply for permission before using them, and would be charged for doing so.
