no slight intended... but i am raising factual concerns of
diabetes. which has little to do with facilities. Special needs,
medicinal side effects, etc. Oh do u happen to know if they indent
special food for diabetic personnel? They didn't indent any in my
camp and they weren't about to do it for an individual case.
Not that difficult, lah. For accountability, it'll likely be a
rigorously doctor-prescribed meal plan, but all it takes is to tell
the kitchen (if not catered) to hold off the sugar & salt, plus
moderate intake of starchy & fatty foods. My relative's
illiterate maid could prepare that for her; it was considerably
more difficulty sticking to the injection/pill-taking
schedule.
Very bland makan, but what to expect in prison?
Anyways u try getting a type 2 diabetic to do star jumps after
he's taken his medicine and see if he faints on you or not.
Type 2 that serious meh? Gosh, imagine him climbing a flight of
stairs or chasing a bus on the outside ~lol~ In any case, I
understand the DB is heavy on rehabilitation/counseling. Only the
1st-timers get physically tekanned daily, but never kena "extra
training" (compared to the civilian Prison or even the SAF) - the
last thing they want is to negatively harden the inmates. The
exercises for repeat offenders are conducted much less frequently,
supposedly aimed more of a break from the mundane lifestyle, &
thus looked forward to as a result of detainees being locked up for
extended periods.
There was this guy who had a website describing his time inside the
DB. I went hunting for it but it's no longer online, but found this
link which mentioned him & how he was once contactable:

Perhaps he can enlighten the board on the topic, if locateable
again.
