The US banned some interrogation techniques...

Apparently, the fact that they're banned by the Geneva convention isn't good enough for us. Well, not that I didn't already know that.

*hums slightly* I wonder how US prisons are run. Never thought about that before. I mean, honestly. If conditions in prisons here are similar to conditions there, then we should've expected this (we should've anyway, that's one of those things that happens when you don't work hard against it). Then of course, the question is "are conditions in our domestic prisons different from conditions on other prisons?". *runs to google*

The following is a description of jail (not prison) by an autistic woman who has previously *been* to prison:

From what I have heard, prisons are at least as bad as the psych system can get (only with prisons you get due process). Which makes them pretty bad. There's a pretty large prison reform movement in the US.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. The only thing I know about the psych system comes from Lizziey, and at least some of the time she was there it was because there was no place else to put her. And I know about the reform movement, but I don't pry too deeply into actual conditions, usually.
