This isn’t jail...it’s an Abu Ghraib remake. A double-amputee detainee in solitary? That’s not security...it’s sadism. Georgia’s system just proved how low America can sink when cruelty goes official. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We have federal court orders that will not allow this kind of treatment of any inmate on any level. Why are we allowing this? I grew up next to a historic Max Prison where they carried out the Death Penalty. It has been there since 1887. In the '70's a Federal Judge said it was inhumane. 1 of 2
