Unfortunately because to people who don't self harm it can be shocking or whatever they will be inclined to show things like that, as it's just the way the media works, the more shock etc, the more people watch.
I thought it was interesting and agree with you Sophia, re. Gill, although obviously can't say for sure.
The look on Beth's face when Gill was getting off the section and she wasn't broke my heart though, I know that feeling, even just watching others going off the unit for leave/walk round the grounds is galling when you are on section and/or one to ones and such. What seemed cruel to me in one of the units I was in was that where the women who were allowed grounds leave often chose to sit was within eyesight from behind the fence of the enclosed place we had to smoke in, so we'd be watching them having a ball through the fence while we were stuck in there (nice as they made it, to me I still felt caged).
