Prison toilets are stainless steel but must cost many times the price

They include a sink, drinking fountain and paper holder. All in one
piece. They do not crack or break. When broken away from the wall,
during a "fit", they can be reattached at less cost by using the same
unit.

How about a combination toilet and washing machine, which uses the grey
water from the washing machine to flush the toilet:

Not sure I want grey water in the bowl and get splashback..
