Wormwood In Need Of A Scrub

1811wormwood.jpgCategory B prison Wormwood Scrubs in west London has been rapped on its tattooed knuckles by the prisons inspector. Anne Owers has found "significant deterioration" in conditions at the Victorian-era prison, which houses around 1,200 inmates,with increases in failed drugs test and gang activity the symptoms of a malaise that has affected the notorious jail. Perhaps The Scrubs is in need of rebranding: dropping "Wormwood" from the name and having the remaining members of TLC come and perform their ace song might give inmates a little pride in their place of incarceration.
