1. That seems like a leap

3. Torture coming to a US prison?
Torturing prisoners is nothing new in this country. Just most people never hear about it.

4. Coming? It's here.
If you want an example of at least "passive torture", you
might investigate how medical care is routinely denied to
prisoners, especially in US jails (short-term lockups).
