Hollywood has always been that way. The leader of sag aftra happily blacklisted members just based on “suspicion” of being “communist” back in the 50s. They made him president of the country.
These are amazing parents. Protecting the legacy of their son, making sure it is never used to further a hateful agenda, even though I’m sure they are going to get hate back from all the MAGA cultists.
She was told she had to pay for the hospital’s services and later received invoices for a combined total of more than $5,000. Despite no contraband being found in any of her belongings or her body, Cardenas was denied her visit with her husband.
One of the prison officials asked her, “Why do you visit, Christina? You don’t have to visit. It’s a choice, and this is part of visiting,” according to Cardenas.
Holy shit. You don’t have to visit your family in prison and if you do this is what we’ll do to you. Chilling.
A lawsuit filed on behalf of 21 women incarcerated at the California Institution for Women in San Bernardino County includes allegations spanning from 2014 to 2020 of forcible rape, oral copulation, groping and threats of violence and punishment by officers, CBS Los Angeles reported.
Earlier this year the federal Bureau of Prisons announced it will close a women’s prison in Northern California known as the “rape club” after an Associated Press investigation exposed rampant sexual abuse by correctional officers.
We have such a barbaric society. We deserve all the terrible shit that happens to us for not stoping things like this. If we actually strove to protect the people who need it, we’d have a more harmonious population. We’re assholes.
I can’t imagine why you were downvoted for this. You speak truth–prison in the US is not mean to rehabilitate, it’s meant to cause suffering. Families of inmates are collateral and take part in the suffering because, I guess, screw them for being related to a criminal.
Just look around here. Most of the people here are part of the hate club. Constantly you see posts wishing the worst and horrible deaths on the people they disagree with or who commit crimes/do horrible shit/are rich, and they are being celebrated. ACAB, Trump should off himself, eat the rich, celebrating people drowning on their yachts… But hey, it’s not hate speech if you are on a moral high ground right? Most people here probably agree, that prisons are for suffering, just that so often the wrong people are suffering.
America needs a functioning justice system and people abusing their power is horrible. But you need to fight it by enforcing a system and punishments according to a set of laws. There is no emotion or revenge in justice.
“They spent the vast majority of their days inside their cells, sometimes up to 24 hours a day, without regular access to education, large muscle exercise, outdoor recreation, or showers,” state investigators wrote in a report released Monday.

Other allegations reported and investigated by OIG included children not being fed sufficiently and phone and visitation rights taken away due to behavior issues, although the investigation could not find these to be true or false.
Way to go, Texas. I just assume everything is terrible there because you pretty much prove it every day.
When the most popular musician in the world, a woman who has a vast number of American followers, a woman who got thousands of them to register to vote this year just by saying so, endorses a candidate, it’s news.
Yeah, this news is so irrelevant that it gathered a lot of buthurt people to go on posts and videos about it to say how much they don’t care. Let’s be honest, it’s not that they don’t care, they are bothered by it, they are concerned and afraid.
And right now this is the top post on lemmy. Very irrelevant, right?
I feel horrible for the guy and his family. They’ve already weathered a real tragedy, now they get to weather another one that is completely unnecessary and avoidable.
In a statement, Steve Johnson, the president of the Los Angeles County Professional Peace Officers Association, vehemently disagreed with release of personnel information which he described as “stolen,” even though they were court records, and said that it would endanger deputies, families and peace officers who serve the community.
We’ll be murdered if the public finds out about our misbehavior!
On one exhibit, state prosecutors left public the department identification numbers corresponding to Deputy Does 7, 8 and 9. On another, they left public a connected civil case number. In at least four cases, handwritten margin notes and signatures made it possible to match redacted exhibits to the public versions of the same documents already in L.A. Superior Court records.
It almost feels like someone on the inside strategically left hints for this to be uncovered, but it’s probably just incompetence.
Sure seems like cops are able to get their jobs back in a lot of instances. That wouldn’t work with my employer. Kinda feels out of balance, like they aren’t truly accountable, dontcha think?
This is just a slap in the face. But, what can I say, we live in a country that would rather try to pretend racism doesn’t exist, instead of fix any of the systemic issues.
We sorely need some politicians who are not bought and paid for in this country. The amount of deregulated bullshit, or regulations not being upheld, is too damn high.
