That was a great doc, i watched it last nite. It really showed how prisoners rights is not a vote winner, because the voters are pure ignorant in places like florida and texas. All those populist trash people, who think "tough on crime" means torturing inmates. People tend to change their opinions when its their kid tied into a restraint chair and dies from asphixia (sp). Pepper spray and tazers are supposed to be things they use instead of force, not something you shoot thru a closed cell door as punishment.
You cant be surprised at what happened at abu gharib after watching that. Its one more reson to not want americas version of "freedom" to be forced on the world. Your inmates come out worse then they went in. Where is the rehabilitation? I dont want someone tortured for 10 years getting out and moving next door to me. That old pig in arizona who puts people in striped suits and in tents should be brought up on human right charges. It goes to show what happens in an area when voters are pure trash. The guy is popular, meanwhile his guards beat people to death. He sure loves talking about about the food is so cheap, and how much the inmates hate it. But you see him squirm when he gets tough questions about abuses?
I liked the part with the teenage convicts, locked up 23 hours a day. Yeah they will come normal after that. Americas prison sytem is barbaric. You think prison being that bad will keep them from reoffending, yet nations that have real rehab/education/treatment programs all have populations that reoffend at lower rates. I guess the white trash voters dont want to pay for that "hippy" stuff. And then they wonder why these guys come out mean...
The only thing that movie didnt show was the way the american justice system uses rape in the prison system, to silence inmates or make them testify. If i lived in a nation where prosecuters threatened people with rape, i would be outraged. The people who think this is all part of the punishment will think different, when they get busted for drugs and end up in hell. Maybe you shouldnt wait until it happens to you, or your son to care.
