> Those are physical differences.

Good; we agree differences in a patient/customer may require special training/handling.

> Should we have different prisons for gays?

Again, this wasn't a different hotline. Just a phone tree option.

I suspect prisons, at times, have to manage things specific to gay inmates. Seems like it could cause roommate situations to be accounted for, as an example.

doubtful. There's no customer service in prison nor the ability to speak with the manager.

    > Every jail must develop a clear and responsive prisoner grievance procedure, including a formal means of delivering complaints and concerns from a prisoner to the administration and the procedures by which the prisoner receives a written response. However, the prisoner should not be able to use the procedures to avoid institutional rules and regulations.
