VanRamblings can’t keep track of all the articles and commentary coming out about prisoner abuse in the U.S. since the Abu Ghraib photos were first published.
In an article published yesterday in The Globe and Mail, torture expert Miles Schuman writes that “Americans are no novices to inflicting pain and humiliation;” that, in fact, “U.S.-sanctioned torment has a long and diverse pedigree.”
Talk Left points to this story in the Los Angeles Times, about conditions in the L.A. County jail, where five inmates have been murdered since October.
This L.A. Times editorial calls jail security an oxymoron.
Update: America. Prison Nation. That’s what many Americans believe the U.S. has become. Don’t miss this editorial in the Monday, May 17th, New York Times, ‘The Dark Side of America’. The abuses within the United States are at least as bad, and probably worse, than those abroad.
