did you watch that 20/20 or 48 hours report last night? i'm not sure which program it was but it was scary..why aren't jail personnel arrested ? if people go to jail and it means a death sentenence even if they just stoled money or got too many traffic tickets i think the jailers should be arrested for murder torturing people in usa jails is just to common..whats wrong with these people?? the warden was laughing while talking to the reporter about the poor man who died...people in usa prisons are dying of hunger and thirst?? isn't that a crime? shouldn't these upstanding sitizens who work in jails and allow people to die this way be accountable? what fine upstanding citizen could be allowed to get away with torturing people to death?? what country do i live in?? home of the free? when we have more people imprisoned than any other country in the world? not home of free -- home of prisoners..

I know a few people that were in prison and Ive heard all sorts of horror stories, right here in my home state of Ohio. If a person is put in the "hole" or solitary confinement the jailers will literally pee and poop in their food so that they cant eat. I know someone who had to eat BUGS just to stay alive!...All kinds of beating and torture going on and no one even cares because they are just prisoners!

very interesting isn't it - and our politicians are the first to use the whole "human rights" coin as a reason to invade other countries. Not to mention complaining that certain dictators kill their own citizens when we do it all the time - Attica, Koresh and the Davidians (people burned alive - including children), Ruby Ridge, etc. However we continue to trade with China which is one of the biggest violators of Human Rights as well as not doing anything about MILLIONS of people dying in Darfur the the Sudan...
Our government is a pretty hypocritical bunch for sure...
