Should I keep going?
If you don't give people food and drink, they aren't gonna shit. This is torture.
Yeah, it literally is. 24 hours of light, not being able to move, can't drink water for 25 hours, etc... This is like the shit the military did over in the Middle East with their "enhanced interrogation techniques".
How is this not a criminal civil rights violation?
Narrator, who happens to be the ACLU: "It was."
Prison industrial complex: "what are you gonna do about it?"
It obviously is, but our justice system does not care about protecting prisoners at all.
fucking savages
These people get off on torturing others. They should be rejected from society. I do not welcome them here.
The United States of America is a 3rd world country in many ways.
The headline said they halted the practice, but the article says the policy change was now that they have to give laxatives and can only do it for 72 hours unless they have a doctor sign off. Is that really a change?
Wow, this is seriously fucked up.
I seriously did not expect the Spanish Inquisition to return.
