I am not certain I will give a full answer on that here but I have never been more than honest and upfront with people. It cannot be good for a person to live in circumstances like these for a prolonged period. Perhaps we need to do a bit more work and I know certain organisations have already done some work on the effect on people's mental health of living in confined or overcrowded spaces over long periods. We all know the overarching evidence in the area. Those circumstances cannot be good for anybody.
