[spoilers] Lucas Discussion 2

[HellsBells]

Something has been bothering me and I can't remember if we have already discussed it.

On the roof top in 9.8 with Harry and Lucas, Lucas says he can't go back to prison 'because he would die there'. Do you think he means physically die and if so does he think someone will kill him or that he would kill himself? Or does he mean emotionally die? For someone you had spent 8 years in a Russian prison without any idea of if/when he would be released, wouldn't prison in this country be easier, torture and solitary confinement are not part of British prison system.
