1. I couldn't watch.

Prisons on TV are way to disturbing.

What did I miss?

2. 900+ forced feedings...

one suicide
4 inmate killings.
no video from inside (other than a very grainy and brief prisoner intake video)

mostly very non-informative, but mostly designed to keep you very very afraid.

3. and designed to leave the impression that it might not be so

secure. at first i thought they were showing how secure it is and that we should not worry. then they say how understaffed they are. :eyes: never trust the rw corporate media.

5. Sicking. How much money is that place costing us ?

Wonder if Halliburton owns it?

What a sick society we are to put people in solitary confinment day after day.. for years and years.
That is torture.

They should be able to be outside more than 1 hour.

Force feeding. That is torture.

They are criminals and should be held. Taking away people's freedom is punishment.

And I can understand them having to be in a cell alone.. but they should be able to see the sky and the mountains.. If they want to starve themselves they should be able to do that also.
