Prison toilets are stainless steel but must cost many times the price
of porcelain and be less stylish.


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:

Mighty small load capacity and most times you arent' gonna be ready
for a load when the toilet needs flushing. IOW a solution to a
nonexistant problem.
