There is no mattress on the bed and anyone finding themselves in a solitary is not given any sheets to slip on.

I know this is a British news outlet and I know the British do not speak proper American but this is not proper English either.

Editor (noun) Someone who keeps you from looking like a proper daft git in front of the entire English speaking world.

It's the DailyMail. Notorious for ludicrous textual errors, massively long headlines, and overblown claims in the lead-ins to the stories. Copy editors? No such thing.
