"usually sanctioned...promoted"...come on Hans...I'm sure you have proof or did you take the word of the prisoners you champion. Phone privileges, Internet access for some, T.V. books,work-out equipment,counseling , yada yada yada. Horrific and torturous? The only tourture is isolation from family but they, prisoners, didn't think of family when they committed their crimes and I know that on a personal level.
