This is so typical of our current government. Renaming things in an attempt to make them better. Streets, cities, buildings, prisons...

Yes why the flying f*** would you want to rename the prisons and change them into centres of hope and second chances??????? If you committed a crime you should pay for it! You should suffer every day and regret what you've done. The prisoners aren't supposed to have cruises!
