Chris Hedges: The Shame of America’s Gulag – Chris Hedges’ Columns – Truthdig

March 18, 2013

Chris Hedges: The Shame of America’s Gulag – Chris Hedges’ Columns – Truthdig : If, as Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote, “the degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons” then we are a nation of barbarians.

Beatings. Prolonged isolation. Sensory deprivation. Racial profiling. Chain gangs. Forced labor. Rancid food. Children imprisoned as adults. Prisoners forced to take medications to induce lethargy. Inadequate heating and ventilation. Poor health care. Draconian sentences for nonviolent crimes. Endemic violence.
