Torture: America’s Brutal Prisons

This program shows that as documented abuses at Abu Ghraib are common in overcrowded prisons and staff of the U.S.. The prisoners are shackled and hooded for your own protection, pepper spray is used as an alternative to physical force, but in sufficient quantities to cause second degree burns, beatings are common and sometimes fatal. The program suggests that the cause is a few bad apples, but a pervasive culture of dehumanisation and brutality.
