The other week, the newspapers over here featured a story that left me totally shocked and lost for words. It concerned the humiliation of American prisoners within the U.S.A. Maybe some of the Americans on the forum will know more details of the incident but, in brief, it concerned a prison somewhere in the U.S.
The article featured some pics of American prisoners being paraded around the streets in their underwear while women guards smirked. Some of the prisoners were dressed in effeminate clothes they had been forced to wear (same as what took place in Iraq). There was also talk of reintroduction of chain gangs, even including children in the said state but I can't recall which one it was.
The article stated liberal Americans had been incensed by all of this so I thought I'd ask liberal Americans on this forum what they think of such situations. Other testimonies include accounts of prisoners being threatened by dogs or degraded and in schools, it was reported kids are disciplined with wooden paddles.
Is America turning back from respect for human rights and what can liberal Americans do to stop the process?
