      People who are disliked by their entire family, and who were the social pariah at school, and who are despised by their colleagues (even though most of them are horrible people too), and who have strong sociopathic tendencies, and who revel in the misery of others to distract from their own misery and self-loathing.

      I personally hate being touched by anyone. I almost never let anybody touch me. That’s pretty different from banning other people from hugging. That’s really fucked up.

        Completely understand. No issue with people that don’t want to hug, but being against others hugging is terrible.

      Personally I’m generally against people hugging me. But I’m an autist who thinks eye contact is too much physical contact so…

      People trying to prevent passing of stuff like drugs or weapons. It’s pretty common in jails.

      Don’t get me wrong, this whole thing is fucked up and none of those people should be there, but this story is just to play on your emotions. This shouldn’t be an issue because they shouldn’t be there at all.

        these are not jails though, they’re immigrant detention. they are not criminals but are being treated as worse than felon citizens.

      I mean, add it to the large pile of constitutional violations the Trump regime have made. They need to be made to care. As the military kow-towed to them without even a pause, violating their sworn oath, there’s not much left but the thinnest of remnant of rule of law.

    “yeah but I’m sure the dehumanizing Nazi machinery of the state will never be turned against me, so the cruelty is ok, it’s even preferable!” – half of my very purple state

    Words can not describe how much I despise paying taxes to these people.

      The “crime” of which is a crime of paperwork. It’s a civil offense on the level of an unpaid parking ticket.

      Edit: my brain filtered out the “not” in your sentence. But I guess the reply still works.

    During a visit in July, Lee’s group ran into the California City warden, Christopher Chestnut, the reverend recalled. When she asked him why no one could have a regular visit, he told her that facilities with contact visits had higher overdose rates, without providing further explanation, according to Lee.

    So it’s hell enough that having a physical reminder of what has been taken away causes even more to want escape? That’s not the flex you think it is, there, buddy.
