What happens to a paruretic should they have the misfortune to go into prison? I can only think it would be a living nightmare, unless special account is taken of this condition in the U.K.prison service.

Hi Lewi
Unfortunately given the overcrowding in UK prisons, I imagine there is little chance of getting a cell to oneself, unless in an open prison. The Prison Service does acknowledge paruresis, and has special procedures when doing drug testing; however as paruresis is rarely mentioned, most staff are probably not aware of the procedures.
