Torture happens in American prisons, you can count on it. The US locks up more people in prison than China. It's the leading country for prisoners
with 2.3 million as of 2009 compared to China's distant second of 1.6 million people who have 4 times our population and alot poorer. Whats the
definition of a police state?
Thats because in China they simply EXECUTE the scum...and lock up the others. WE on the other hand lock up EVERYONE and let them sit on death row,
make excuses for this, for that, etc...so OF COURSE it appears we lock up more. In other countries they GET RID of problems, they don't keep them at
bay.
Also, you might wanna go visit a federal prison or state prison and see how your treated by those folks before you get to emotional. Unless you have
been there. If not, youtube prison riot, prison fight, prison anything and the video you posted will pretty much seem moot.
Are there guys/gals locked up who leanred their lesson and can be released...sure. Are there people locked up who could of been given probation
instead of jail time...sure...but the prison system in the US is one of the easiest on the planet....so I am not going to cry for them to much.
