Is 'prison whirlpool' common parlance? The cited newspaper says infirmary whirlpool instead, but that is equally meaningless to me. A google search of 'infirmary whirlpool' returns results of therapeutic bathtubs that seems unlikely to exist in a prison. Can someone interpret what is meant by 'infirmary whirlpool' and update the term in the article to something more understandable? Crash365 (talk) 08:13, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Crash365. You might want to have a look at Roy Ratcliff. The source over there says: "Still, Ratcliff baptized him in a steel-silver whirlpool meant to treat inmates with physical injuries. “Welcome to the family of God,” Ratcliff said to Dahmer when he emerged."
