Abuse of prisoners in the US 11:10PM EST Wednesday, 5/19/2004 [link to this item]

Salon has a very in-depth article by Michelle Goldberg on the latest prisoner abuse scandal, this one in Brooklyn.  Of course, prisons in the US have long been places of abuse, as the recent Boondocks strip excerpted at right pointed out.  Human Rights Watch has documented the total disregard for health and safety in many of our prisons, workers at which regularly do nothing to prevent, or even encourage, rape. 

For very good continual coverage of issues relating to prisons, see TalkLeft's frequently-updated "Inmates and Prisons" news category.
