Tricky question.

Do they punish the smoking prisoners by banning them or punish the non-smoking ones by letting them carry on?

Most prisons are smoke free today. Indiana is for sure. They have not been able to smoke since 1995.

By Gregg Zoroya, USA TODAY 7.21.2004

The last sanctuary for smokers in government buildings has always been the worst place to be â€” prison. But those institutions are fast becoming smoke-free, to the anguish of nicotine-addicted prisoners and guards.

Last week, the Federal Bureau of Prisons became the latest to join the no-smoking movement by instituting a near-total ban on lighted tobacco in 105 prisons holding 180,000 inmates.

At least 38 of 50 state correctional departments report that they are either smoke-free or have partial smoking bans, according to a 2002 survey conducted by the American Correctional Association, a professional trade organization. And more states keep joining the list

Prisoners in the UK wil be able to smoke in their cells. However, the youth wing of our local prison, which is privately run, has banned all smoking even though some of the boys in there are over 16 years old.

Just in cells and out in the yards

LOL! Who cares if you're already a crook?

Yes for residents only, the ban doesn't apply to prisons, psychiatric units or old peoples homes.
