Exactly. They need to be careful all kinda homeless people dont start petty theft so they can enjoy the comforts of that suite.
That's why fox hell has to be fox hell and not a civilized place. Because everyone who is living like a dog below whatever standard it has, will want to go there for a better life.
Fox Hell, a deterrent to Bahamian dogs. How sad. And in a "Christian" nation.

You would understand the issue of going to prison is one of confinement as opposed to physical discomfort?

Will you also understand that if a place is nasty and unkempt it means someone is not doing their job?

Most important when someone dies it's not the time to pontificate over foolishness.
