Lawsuit highlights horrors.
from The Guardian
A lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of prisoners at the privately-owned East Mississippi Correctional Facility for mentally ill prisoners reveals horrific abuses, writes Jill Filipovic for The Guardian. Although treatment is advertised as part of the prison contract, not only are prisoners denied treatment, they face rape, beatings, rat infestations and solitary confinement, sometimes for years. Business as usual in America's private prisons, where the population has grown by 790 percent since 1980.
