Will it ever end?
Been doing the blog-rounds and on Crooked Timber they quote from an article in the New York Times, about how the man who trained the American guards at the Abu Gharib prison was forced to resign from his position as director of the Utah Department of Corrections after a prisoner died having been strapped, naked, to a restraining chair and left for 16 hours.
The article is full of stories of prisoner abuse in American prisons, such as “in Texas, [where] guards were allowing inmate gang leaders to buy and sell other inmates as slaves for sex”
