A reply to Debra
J. Saunders from the NCTT in COR - SHU
“Search for the
truth is the noblest occupation
of man, its publication is a duty.”
Anne
Louise Germaine de Staël
Here’s how you
know corporate mass media journalists like San Francisco Chronicle
columnist Debra J.
Saunders are simply the public
mouthpieces of the state’s authoritarian apparatus: the U.S. Prison
Industrial
Complex has been maintaining the single largest domestic torture
program on planet
Earth in SHU torture units across the nation, with 12,000 of its 80,000
victims
in California and instead of every investigative reporter in the nation
researching and reporting on the existence of systematic torture in
U.S. prisons
it barely gets a mention in mainstream media and when it does, it is
nothing
more than a recycled version of the same distortions and
mischaracterizations
issued by the very prison administrators responsible for the inhuman
practice. Because of the blatant distortions and outright lies
contained
in the Op-Ed piece masquerading as “journalism” such as Debra J.
Saunders
“Prison Hunger Strike Is a Dangerous Game” (S.F. Gate 8/23/13), we
feel compelled to correct them
with the truth.
A good place to
begin this discussion, because it was so thoroughly
mocked by Ms. Saunders and CDCR masters, is settling once and for all
the fact
that indeterminate SHU confinement is torture, and why. It is a
three-prong, systematic process including “validation, indeterminate
SHU
confinement, debriefing,” which taken together is by definition
torture.
Let us first
define torture. The U.N. Convention Against Torture (C.A.T)
of which the U.S. is a signatory, defines “torture” in Article 1 as,
”Any act by
which severe pain or suffering,
whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for
such
purpose as obtaining from him or a third person information or a
confession,
punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is
suspected of
having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person or
for any
reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering
is
inflicted by or at the instigation of, or with the consent of a public
official
or other person acting in an official capacity.”
Let’s begin
with, “Any act which pain or suffering, whether physical or
mental, is intentionally inflicted…”
The body of
evidence cataloging the severe mental pain irreparable
physical and psychological damage of prolonged and indefinite sensory
deprivation confinement is so overwhelming, so irrefutable that it
stretches
back over 100 years in U.S. science and jurisprudence alone. In 1890,
the
Supreme Court ruled, In Re Medley the
court observed of the practice,
“A considerable
number of prisoners fell, after
even a short confinement, into a semi-fatuous condition, from which it
was next
to impossible to rouse them, and others became violently insane; others
still
committed suicide, while those who stood the ordeal were non-reformed,
and in
many cases did not recover sufficient mental activity to be of
subsequent
service to the community.”
(U.S. Supreme
Court, In Re Medley, 134 U.S.
160, 168 (1890) ). In Great Britain, as
in other countries, public sentiment revolted against this severity,
and by the
Statute of 6 and 7, William IV, Chapter 3, the additional punishment of
solitary confinement was repealed. (In Re Medley, 134 U.S. 160, 168, 170 (1890)).”
Experts in the
field of psychology, psychiatry and human behavior from
Bonnie Kerness, Craig Haney, to Doctor Stuart Grassian have universally
determined even brief stays in sensory deprivation confinement causes
significant psychological injury:
To quote Craig
Haney of U.C. California, Santa Cruz,
“There is not a single published study of solitary or super-max-like confinement in which non-voluntary confinement lasting longer than ten (10) days, where participants were unable to terminate their isolation at will, that failed to result in negative psychological effects, including such clinically significant symptoms as hypertension, uncontrollable anger, hallucinations, emotional breakdowns, and suicidal thoughts and behavior.”
The SHU torture
units in California were uniquely designed for this
purpose, and as CDCR spokesperson, disguised as a journalist, Debra. J.
Saunders, seeks to reduce prisoners’ legitimate resistance to
indefinite
torture to “a game”, men like Billy “Guerro” Sell and Armando “Baby
Paya”
Morales are being driven to hang themselves right here in Corcoran SHU
because
these conditions in fact do intentionally inflict mental and physical
pain and
suffering of such severity that men kill themselves to escape it.
50% of all
California prisoner suicides occur in SHU, though it houses
only 5% of the prison population. The cause of this disproportionately
lethal
impact has been crucial and articulated by experts in the field
ad-nauseum,
with universally agreed-upon findings, that long-term SHU confinement
causes severe mental and physical suffering amounting to cruel, inhuman
or
degrading treatment or…torture. Instead of relying on the overwhelming
body of scientific evidence and the leading psychological experts in
the
field of solitary and supermax-style confinement – CDCR groupies – like
Debra
J. Saunders rely on baseless opinions and outright lies of prison
industrialists like Jeffrey Beard, who say that neither solitary
confinement or
torture exist in California.
In an August 13,
2013 Rolling Stone article, citing the California
Penal Code definition
of torture, CDCR spokesperson Terry Thornton claimed this penal code
didn’t fit
the definition of torture, “The intent to cause cruel or extreme pain
and
suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion, or for any
sadistic purpose.”
Oh, but it does
fit that definition and countless personages over the
last 100 plus years have reported just that. But before we get into the
“purpose” aspect of SHU, we think it’s important for us to analyze the
psychosis, which seeks to justify and has always sought justification
for this
type of inhumanity.
Authoritarian
powers of the world, and those who support them, like
Debra J. Saunders, have always cloaked their dehumanization and abuses
of
certain segments of the population in the name of “the law,” “nature,”
and in
some cases, “God.” The U.S. since its inception has been a nation
founded upon
the patriarchal authoritarian mass psychology, The cultural foundation
of
reactionary man in which the values, cultural mores and ideas of the
ruling
elite are reproduced in those they exploit. For centuries it was
illegal for
women to own property, vote, or have any meaningful control over their
daily
lives, their bodies, or their futures. When women resisted this
patriarchal
enforcement of their second-class citizenship, they were brutalized,
jailed,
reviled, and often killed.
Though the
intimate oppression of women finds its origins in the
development of the modern family unit, the economic role women played
as sexual
and domestic chattel, is equitable in most men’s minds to any other
valued
beast (cattle, sheep, horses, etc). This oppression was enforced with
biblical
scripture which cloaked women’s subjugation in “the word of God”. Laws
flowed
directly from the pulpits that mirrored the same. After centuries of
resistance
and progress this same patriarchal authoritarian mass psychology
responsible
for 19th century sexism, misogyny and brutality of women is the same
psychosis
responsible for its modern perpetration, and the creation of torture
units
across the U.S. prison industrial complex.
The same
authoritarian psychosis which rationalized the systematic
genocide of over 50 million Native North Americans as “the white man’s
burden”
in service to Amerika’s “Manifest Destiny,”
is the same authoritarian psychosis that pits prisoners against
prisoners
in gladiator fights in Corcoran SHU, and boiled them alive in Pelican
Bay SHU; is the same authoritarian psychosis that
invoked biblical ”scripture” and “the law” to justify enslaving 100’s
of
millions of Afrikans in Amerika and murdering 100’s of millions more
during the
trans-Atlantic slave trade; is the same
authoritarian psychosis responsible for Jeffrey Beard reducing
tortured
prisoners’ peaceful hunger strike to end indefinite torture, to a
“gang
power play”; is the same authoritarian
psychosis which stripped Jews in Europe of their rights under Nazi
occupation before marching them to extermination camps; is the same
authoritarian psychosis responsible for Debra J.
Saunders advocating that the label ”gang member” is a justification for
the
U.S. prison industry to erect the largest domestic torture program on
the face
of the earth.
The
authoritarian psychosis of reactionary men and women is infinitely
capable of rationalizing its own evil and justifying it under “the rule
of
law.” The CDCR spokesperson, Terry Thornton, can bluntly say torture
isn’t
torture, and somehow convince herself of the delusion that it is
the same way the Victorian-era
preacher convinces himself the repressed woman is “happy,” docile and
joyous in
her submission, and it is the same way
the union soldier convinces himself he is “doing the native savages a
kindness
by resettling them on a reservation to be taught the proper ways of
civilization; is the same way the
prison industry convinces themselves that the prisoner who “bed
checked” in the
same tiny cell for years, decades, deserves it because he is a
validated
prisoner; and it is the same as the
District Court Judge today who convinces himself that the SHU prisoner
has no
8th Amendment rights to be free of torture.
At Corcoran SHU
there is a forced double-celling policy. The legal
minimum requirement for the amount of cell space for two people in one
cell is
60 square feet. In Corcoran SHU cells, because the beds sit next to
each other
here, there is no more than 15 square feet for two people. The toilet
is less
than 2 feet from the bed. The toilets are on metal and stick out into
that
space. Only 3 flushes are allowed every 12 minutes. It is common for
the
cell and tier to reek of feces, including during morning and evening
meals. We
routinely have our yard privileges taken away and find ourselves
regularly
confined to the cells 24 hours a day almost every single day for weeks.
The c/o’s
(correctional officers) also function under the same warped
psychosis of the patriarchal authoritarian mass psychology. It is a
psychosis,
which is cultural in capitalist society and all encompassing. In each
case, dehumanization plays a central and necessary role in the function
of
the psychosis. To inflict inhumane treatment on another human, the mind
forces
the perpetrator to dehumanize the subject of his or her cruelty. In
this
instance, the justification for our dehumanization is the label
“violent gang
member”. As some read these words, a part of your mind is
automatically
and irrationally skeptical and repulsed by anything, no matter how
noble or
correct you may feel you are, associated with the term “violent gang
member,”
and that’s because you’ve been conditioned that way over the course of
the past
35 years.
In that same
time period, the U.S. prison population has exploded by
800%! A monolithic, multi-billion dollar prison industrial complex has
spread its tendrils into almost every aspect of economic, social,
political,
and cultural life in AmeriKa. SHU torture units have sprouted up in
almost
every state in the union, with more and more human beings consigned to
them
indefinitely for ever more arbitrary and nonsensical reasons, all
fueled by
your tax dollars and political will. They accomplished this the same
way they
accomplished the invasion of Iraq, by telling you enough lies, enough
times,
with sufficient intensity that in your mind it’s taken on the aura of
truth.
Even though it’s a lie.
This brainwash
has gone on so long that it’s now become
the standard “go to” narrative of CDCR. Reality, veracity and common
sense have
little place in that narrative. It is designed to frighten you by
dehumanizing you, and by doing so they create the social illusion that
you and
I are separate and adversarial entities; that we lie outside the legal
definition of ”person,” as though we did not come from and will not
return to
the same communities you now live in; the same communities our mothers,
fathers, siblings, spouses, children and kin live and pay taxes in,
right
alongside you. It’s both insidious and evil, and more to the point,
prohibits a
basis for torture.
We’d like to
elaborate:
On August 23,
2011, former CDCR Under-Secretary, Scott Kernan, in
response to several psychiatrists and psychologists’ expert testimony
that
indefinite SHU confinement was a violation of international standards
prohibiting torture, responded, “The real human rights violation is the
violence
the gangs carry out.” This is the identical narrative of every CDCR
spokesperson, official, and administrator, at present. Current CDCR
spokesperson Terry Thornton, who, in some of the most warped logic
we’ve ever
seen, put into print, stated in the wake of Billy “Guerro” Sell’s
alleged
suicide here at Corcoran that the Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity
Coalition
activists and Billy’s family members were somehow “exploiting his
death”
in order to “mislead the public: about a hunger strike orchestrated by
violent
gang members.” As previous analysis has already established, suicide
is
often employed to escape the torture of the SHU. 50% of all prison
suicides
occur in SHU, though only 5% of the prison population is housed there.
Implicit in such statements is, “So what? We’re torturing them,
they are “violent gang members,” so why should anyone care?”
This very
rationale is prohibited
under C.A.T., Article 2; and the Convention Against
Torture, states, “No
exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or threat
of war,
internal political instability, or any other public emergency, may be
invoked
as a justification of torture,” that
includes the label “violent gang member.” When
the U.S. signed C.A.T. at
the
close of WWII they were conscious of this type of dehumanization, as
they had
just witnessed it in liberating the Nazi death camp footage; so
inflicting it
on their own citizens within their own borders proves the acts
intentional.
We have established that indefinite SHU confinement causes “severe pain
and
suffering, both physical and mental.”
We have
established that CDCR officials are actually aware of this,
which brings us to the “purpose”
aspect of the torture definition. CDCR has stated on multiple
occasions, the
purpose of indefinite SHU confinement is to “administratively segregate
gang
members from the general population so the other 95% of prisoners can
program
without the violence of gang members.” Since the beginning of the
validation - indeterminate SHU - debriefing process in the mid 1980s,
violence
in CDCR facilities only increased exponentially. So this is either an
outright
lie, or “gang members” are not the origin of prison violence. This fact
was one
of the many contradictions former Undersecretary Kernan was confronted
with by
legislators at the August
23, 2011 Public Safety Committee Hearings in
Sacramento, concerning the CDCR
practice of “administrative segregation” which in actuality, does not
necessitate indefinite confinement in SHU torture units. If indefinite
confinement in solitary was truly not the aim of prison officials, a
standard
level IV 180 design prison yard setting exclusively housing “validated
prisoners” could serve the same end for $24,000 less per prisoner per
year.
Current costs
per year are $78,000 per prisoner to house men in SHU, but
only $54,000 per prisoner to house men on a normal level IV 180 design
yard,
annually.
No, the true
purpose of indefinite SHU confinement is to break men’s
minds; to coerce them through punitive sanctions to debrief; to provide
information on yourself and/or others to prison officials; to become a
state
informant; to snitch. This process has been articulated, its etiology
explained, its key architects named, in the NCTT-COR-SHU article, “Creating
Broken Men.” The process is further analyzed in the article “Creating Broken Men 2” and mentions its current
evolution in
CDCR’s STG Pilot Program.
We encourage you
all to review them at www.sfbayview.com
or
ncttcorshu.org or in the
newsletter Prison Focus #39, available on line at
www.prisons.org along with the inspired
thoughts by the many prisoners who have written on these issues.
However, we can
illustrate the CDCR’s methods briefly by using CDCR’s
own language: Article 22 of the Department Operating Manual (D.O.M.)(50270) of their governing “gang
management” system. In D.O. M. (52970.5), CDCR states their gang
management strategy shall be to identify gang affiliated inmates and
parolees;
…take interdiction action, and apply sanctions.” In D.O.M.
(52070.5.4) “Gang activity sanctions: “inmates… in violation of
criminal and
administrative statutes shall be dealt with in the strictest
possible…manner. This shall include, but not be limited to loss of
privileges, increase in custody, loss of work credits (read: loss of
parole), enhancement of penalties; segregation
from the inmate general population (read:
indefinite solitary/sensory deprivation confinement).
Let’s stop for a
moment; the language here is grossly misleading at its
outset. The disturbing truth is, though CDCR uses language like
“violent gang
members” and “violation of criminal and administrative statutes”, very
few, if any “validated” prisoners were consigned to SHU for committing
any
act. It is these alleged “administrative statutes” – the arbitrary
standard – that allows this. “Validation” is not, nor has it ever been
about “behavior.”
The violent
crimes that Debra J. Saunders definitively attaches to the
D. Short Corridor Main Reps occurred 20 – 40 years ago. Are any of us
the
same persons that we were two (2) decades ago? Of course not. Most
validated prisoners have had no rules violations of any kind in years –
or even
decades. The “validated “ gang theory is predicated not on what you
have done,
but instead, like in the Tom Cruise Dystopian film, “Minority Report,”
you are punished for what officials believe you
may do; that just their suspicion that you are a so-called “gang
member” is
sufficient to determine you are predisposed to inevitably carry out an
act of
violent crime. Such a systematic process in a supposed “open and
democratic
society” should horrify and outrage every citizen. Yet these dubious
“gang
activity sanctions” have been codified in CDCR regulations, “calculated
to
force an individual or group of individuals to comply with an
obligation or
submit to that authority, state or group of states; (2) a coercive
provision of
law or penalty designed to enforce obedience.” In each case we see
“sanctions” equated with force. But what is the end in this case?
We find out
answer in D.O.M. 52070.29.2 “Role and Responsibility
of the Gang Intelligence Operations. Debriefing Team,” which
states, “the primary objective of the team shall be to debrief
validated
prison gang members housed in the SHU.” Here we see “validated
prisoners
in the SHU” are identified as the primary focus of debriefing efforts
by CDCR.
The purpose provision of the torture definition under C.A.T., article 1
states: “pain suffering… intentionally inflicted on a person for such
purpose as obtaining from him or a third person information or a
confession,
punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is
suspected of
having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person…
When such
pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the
consent
or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an
official
capacity.” This is the very definition of debriefing. “To learn
enough about the subject and the object’s current gang (D.O.M.
52070.19.2)..Information obtained during a debriefing shall be
documented on…a
debriefing report.” (D.O.M. 52070.19.8) Validation/indeterminate SHU
confinement/debriefing is all about gathering information, coercing the
subject
to become an informant on others (a third person), and this becomes a
tool of
the state. This is unequivocally torture by any definition.
Any narrative to
the contrary, be it asserted by CDCR groupies like
Debra J. Saunders or a CDCR spokesperson like Terry Thornton, you now
know what
you are hearing is sick people trying to justify torture.
The
representation of “lies as truth” and the employment of
state-controlled
journalists to give those lies the air of legitimacy has always been
the
preferred method of the authoritarian order to maintain cultural
hegemony, and
the August 24, 2013, article by Debra J. Saunders is a prime example of
this
process. Here we have a collection of completely uncorroborated sound
bites by CDCR officials and outright lies being presented by a
so-called
journalist that has made no effort to verify the truth of any of her
“fun SHU
facts”. Obvious contradictions are often the first indication of state
duplicity. Ms. Saunders opens this pro-CDCR Op-ed piece (It is not
serious journalism) by castigating the commitment of hunger strikers by
noting
participation went from 30,000 persons to 79 persons in 16 days, then 4
paragraphs later puts forward the absurd contradiction that so-called
“gang
leaders” have coerced everyone with threats to go without food. The
truth is
repression breeds resistance. We’re discussing indefinite torture. No
one
requires compulsion to resist torture, or the prospect of the same
happening to
them. That CDCR, with the aid of irresponsible journalists like Ms.
Saunders, were able to “force feed” that contradiction to Judge
Henderson does
not lend that false narrative any credence.
U.S. Courts have
allowed this torture to continue in numerous cases
for over 30 years knowing full well all the actual facts articulated in
this
piece, in consistent support of prison officials maintaining SHU
torture units.
Taking judicial steps to neutralize the lethal component is in the
interest of
the State, of which the Courts are a part. A convenient lie was
floated
devoid of any verifiable evidence, it was accepted by the judge, and he
pulled
the fangs from the hunger strike. This tripe by Ms. Saunders is no more
journalism than is “The National Inquirer.”
One of the standards of American journalism is to always verify
sources;
“facts.” The entirety of the “article” posted on SFGate, is to
justify CDCR employees telling Deborah J. Saunders
one unsubstantiated lie after another, and Ms. Saunders just putting it
into
print without bothering to verify it, or if any of this even occurred.
Joyce Hayhoe, of
the Federal Receiver’s Office, allegedly told Ms.
Saunders one hunger striker would take food “if he could hide it” and
yet
another would eat “if he could be transferred”; yet neither Ms.
Saunders nor
anyone at the SFGate site bothered to
contact, or even identify, these alleged prisoners to verify this, or
if they
even exist. Saunders quotes CDCR as reporting that “a hunger striking
prisoner
assaulted his cellmate who refused to share food,” yet the columnist
did not
seek to verify the existence of either prisoner, or even if such an
incident
occurred. This far surpasses irresponsible reporting, and is a smear
piece
masquerading as journalism, which is equitable to some state official
telling a
journalist that Barak Obama is really a member of the Taliban, that
journalist
having printing up the story, and the newspaper publishing it, with no
attempt
to verify this with either Barak Obama or the Taliban. That
“journalist” would
be fired, and rightfully so.
Debra Saunders
goes on to state that CDCR employees gave all hunger
strikers “Gatorade and vitamins”, but no such thing occurred here at
Corcoran.
If a hunger striking prisoner accepted Gatorade here, it would take you
off the
hunger strike. Officers not only did not
make daily rounds to see who needed medical attention, but custody
staff went
out of their way to not offer strikers any attention. It was the
exclusive
province of CCHCS medical staff and they were instructed by Chief
Medical
Officer, J. Wang, to ignore the CCHCS
mass hunger strike, fasting, and re-feeding care policy (IMSP&P, vol 4,Chapt.22.2). Daily rounds, consisted
of nothing more than a nurse with a clipboard coming by your door and
asking,
“are you still on a hunger strike?,” then walking away. That’s it.
We have 4
appeals with documentation of intentional medical
neglect/deliberate indifference, by COR-SHU
medical staff toward hunger strikers here. You would appear very thin,
in the
face of the July 28th, 2013, 68 page Corcoran State Prison Health Care Evaluation Report condemning Corcoran CCHCS as the
worst in the state, that she would make some effort to determine if
“care” for prisoners was
actually what CDCR was “reporting” it was. But again, that would imply
serious
journalism, and that’s simply not what we’re discussing here.
Here are some
NOT so
fun facts about SHU:
- SHU does constitute “extreme isolation:, with or without a cellmate, as the conditions of sensory deprivation confinement, enforced idleness, sharing a space barely large enough for one person, let alone 2 (the physical structure of Corcoran-SHU cells affords even less room), and the inescapable psychological degradation that accompanies the horrifying realization that you will never get out of this tiny, monotonous, sterile space is universally experienced. None of this is mitigated (and is often exacerbated) by having a cellmate. SHU is torture; SHU is extreme isolation, and that must be judged by its effects (which are objective and quantifiable), not by the sarcastic commentary of a CDCR groupie’s opinions, who could not begin to fathom, let alone accurately report on, what a day in SHU is like.
- According to the information CDCR spokesperson Terry Thornton provided Debra J. Saunders (accounting for its dialectic), 50% of Tehachapi SHU prisoners are in solitary confinement; 60% of New Folsom SHU prisoners are in solitary confinement; 65% of Corcoran SHU prisoners are in solitary confinement’ and 90% of Pelican Bay SHU prisoners are in solitary confinement - and at the same time, she continues to insist, there are no prisoners in solitary confinement in California.
- SHU prisoners can purchase a small, 13” TV or am/fm radio, at their own expense. There is no “cable TV” in Corcoran SHU, and the reception fed to us from the antenna is so poor, you’re lucky to get 5 of 13 local stations they air to come in clear at any given time. Corcoran needs cable service. In other SHU torture units that may have a few cable stations, it’s due to the remote locations of these prison. Cable service is the only way you’ll get any TV reception at all (like Pelican Bay). All TV programming, equipment, and service is paid for in full by prisoners from our Inmate Welfare Fund, not the state. As you read this, COR-SHU prisoner Reps are seeking to negotiate with the Corcoran administration to pay for our own wireless cable channels from our IWF, which is managed badly by the State.)
- SHU prisoners, with enough money, can pay to earn a degree; and this opportunity is only as a result of concessions realized after the 2011 hunger strike. Prior to this, SHU prisoners were not allowed access to any education at all. If you don’t have the thousands of dollars to pay for college courses, you will remain without it, and as woefully uneducated and unemployable as when you arrived in SHU, just as CDCR likes it.
- In SHU, your mail is screened, and routinely withheld, by I.G.I. staff. Should they take exception with your political views, artwork, culture, or most anything they choose, your mail will be confiscated and you’ll be subjected to even more punitive sanctions by CDCR.
- You can receive visits with your family on weekends; behind a thick pane of glass, talking over a telephone in the wall, for only an hour – no human contact. SHU torture units are by design, situated in remote, rural areas of California, far from the urban centers most SHU prisoners hail from, which makes visits difficult to impossible for most SHU prisoners to get any outside contact at all.
In the final
analysis, misinformation disseminated by pro-torture
activists like Debra J. Saunders moves beyond the realm of
“irresponsible
journalism”: and into active support for systemic torture. In U.S.
capitalist culture, the news is a powerful tool of the ruling class and
the
State to a degree that misinformation is now par for the course, but
that
doesn’t make it correct. Misusing it in such a way as to justify a
practice
dependent on dehumanizing and brutalizing other humans to achieve its
ends, is
neither “objective” nor in the public interest.
When such
reporting is grounded in lies, intentional distortions, and rampant
mischaracterizations, it becomes complicity in these human rights
abuses
themselves. Article 4, section 2 of C.A.T. states in part,
“Each State
party shall ensure that all acts of torture are offences under its
criminal law
(and) shall apply to an attempt to commit torture and to any act by any
person
which constitutes complicity…in torture.” This “article” by Debra J.
Saunders places her in violation of article 4, section 2 of C.A.T. and makes her complicit in
torture. If there is any justice in this world, when pro-torture
prison
industrialists are judged by the people, Debra J. Saunders and her ilk
will be
right with them. For now, history has already judged them, and they
have been
found wanting.
