Friends met on holiday talking to recently, mother is in a nursing home in Poland, no visits, no letters, no phone calls because worry about passing stuff and covid. A member of staff broke the rules and used his phone so they could speak to parent. Question asked "Why am I in prison, what have I done" ?
In a shared room of 6 people, 4 have died in last month, not from Covid or seemingly anything bad. They cut off from family, no contact and likely the loneliness of feeling abandoned meant living was not something they wished to do.
