Letter: Fairness in prison
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The ruling of Mr Justice Latham that homosexual prisoners should be allowed condoms is a welcome health safeguard (report, 6 July). Now can we please allow conjugal visits by wives and girlfriends of heterosexual prisoners? How can we deny sexual relations for the innocent wives and girlfriends of the prisoners while sanctioning one of life's pleasures between convicted felons?
