Crazy how there are stories like this every day in the USA, but Americans will still eat it up when politicians say we have to do something about China or Russia or Iran's violation of human rights.
Most propagandized people on the planet
An investigation into Mississippi's solitary confinement system says that incarcerated people were held alone for weeks, months, or even years, with lights on nearly all day, little human contact, limited showers, and worsening mental health. At least 47 people under Mississippi's solitary torture program died by suicide in the past decade.
A DOJ investigation in 2024 described "restrictive housing units" as "breeding grounds" for suicide, self-injury, fires, and assaults.
Solitary confinement is obviously an uncivilized and brutal practice that doesn't help our country.
Depriving humans of connection, dignity, and hope will never rehabilitate anyone. It's torture.
There's no excuse why our criminal justice system should be multiplying violence and trauma with more violence and trauma.
