What are kettles used for in prison?

<p>Kettles are a thing of the past. Or at least, that&rsquo;s what I would have told you if you&rsquo;d asked me six months ago. With a background in consulting, I thought people didn&rsquo;t have time to wait for kettles to boil when instant boiling water taps are available. Anything that gave you time back was always a good thing.</p> <p>Now I work in a prison and a lot of my thinking has changed, including my perception of kettles. What are kettles used for in prisons?</p> <p>The sound of the kettle boiling, for many of you, will conjure up images of tea-making; this is also true in prison. However, the opportunity of breakfast or a morning cuppa is more a luxury than the norm. Without an alarm, officers open your cell, say &lsquo;Freeflow!&rsquo; and give you 60 seconds to get up, dressed and leave your cell. Thank the lord for people like John on the fours in G wing; collecting up the blue plastic mugs and bring a round of coffee to get everyone&rsquo;s heads straight before construction skills.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@deenorval24/what-are-kettles-used-for-in-prison-ebaaef118552"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
