I saw just a bit of Nightline last night, it was the story about Texas Prison Torture. I hate to say it but I had forgotten all about this story even though it was a big one in my home town as the inmates were from St. Louis. In any event what was going on in Texas under Govenor Bush was a near identical operation as what is going on in Abu Grahib, makes you wonder.
After obtaining a 1996 video tape of the abuse, which included guards forcing dozens of prisoners to crawl naked along prison floors while guards kicked and beat them, zapped their backsides and genitals with stun guns, and had guard dogs bite prisoners, the corrections department announced Friday that Missouri was canceling its $6 million contract with the Brazoria Detention Center in Brazoria Texas, which was housing 415 Missouri inmates as part of Missouri's cell-leasing program in Texas.
Bold is mine here is the link (just bolded so you could see how identical the abuse scandles under Bush are)
