Here is an appalling story of gross prisoner mistreatment here in the United States. These are non-violent offenders--not that any prison inmate should receive such lethal treatment.
If we're the people who we like to say we are, we must take steps ASAP to stop the routine hideous abuse of our vast prison population (which is, of course, too big by millions). It's unconstitutional, immoral, socially destructive and, as well, far more expensive than a range of more humane and rational alternatives. In every sense, we simply can't afford it. MCM Mark, I found this to be a very shocking article. I think what Dr. B. Cayenne Bird found should be exposed as widely as possible because I think the same conditions could exist in many other prisons (both public and private) across the country and even around the world. http://www.opednews.com/articles/1/Inmates-forced-to-drink-po-by-Dr-B-Cayenne-Bir-090105-566.html I think you may have some contacts who can help expose and possible help to remedy this problem. We should not be knowingly poisoning anyone, let alone anyone who is trapped in conditions beyond his or her control.
