So she was transferred to a men's facility from a women's, denied any opportunity to appeal, and thrown in solitary for not going willingly. I wonder, are they going to keep her in solitary for the rest of her imprisonment, or are they going to release her and put a woman in with the men at the prison? Either seems like a completely fucked up option.

Suffering is the point...

Maybe in the US. Civilized nations treat their prisoners with decency.

It's Definitely not just a US thing, although the scale of incarceration in the US is immense. it's just a handful of European countries that actually treat prisoners ok.

Yeah, lots of European nations also have to be more civil with their prisoners, doesn't mean it's okay that they aren't.

Oh come on!

Do most countries have slavery written into their constitutions?
