WP: An inmate died after being locked in a scalding shower for two hours. His guards won’t be charged.

[twa]

How does the death rate at that jail compare to others in the state?

CO's are the worst. You all have no idea. 

 

Yeah I've heard that and I think there are a couple of things that seem to be a big problem. One is that many times you'll get the very LAST people who should have that job doing that job...some who weren't good enough to be cops (jesus, how ****ED up do you have have to be to immediately be denied for police work?), some who are already just power hungry sociopaths looking for easy meat, etc. Another is that, IIRC, there have been various studies and even experiments that show that many even "normal" people when put into that situation can quickly turn into goddamn psychopaths.

So torturing people to death isn't a crime anymore?

 

I think you've run directly into the issue. Torturing humans certainly is. These are prisoners, though, and hence not human.
