The Virginia State Police investigator seemed puzzled about what the inmate was describing: “unbearable” conditions at a prison so cold that toilet water would freeze over and inmates were repeatedly treated for hypothermia.
“How do you get hypothermia in a prison?” the investigator asked. “You shouldn’t.”
The exchange, captured on video obtained by The Associated Press, took place during an investigation into the death of Charles Givens, a developmentally disabled inmate at the Marion Correctional Treatment Center, who records show was among those repeatedly hospitalized for hypothermia.
After a special grand jury considered the case but opted not to bring criminal charges, Givens’ sister sued in federal court, alleging her brother was subjected to routine mistreatment, including “cold-water torture,” before he was fatally beaten in 2022.
The lawsuit has raised broader questions about conditions at the southwest Virginia prison, which the grand jury described as “inhumane and deplorable.”
So you are perfectly satisfied with how America is, right? Since you’re unwilling to start cutting off heads? And you never complain about anything, right? If I go through your comment history, I won’t find one complaint about things in the U.S.?
Complain all you want but trying to convince me that voting is going to save us is a futile effort.
People like you just don’t understand how much of a strangle hold the media has on the public’s mind. You just don’t understand how much corporations control us.
So why aren’t you getting out the guillotine? I thought it makes you a hypocrite wanting to change these things but not being willing to cut heads off.
Once again, sounds like you want people to be brave on your behalf.
You’re a hypocrite because you put the blame on everyone else but you sit there as an arm chair warrior.
I’m not the one complaining about why isn’t the American public doing something. You are.
I’m not complaining about anything. I’m asking how to convince people of something. And the ironic part of this is that I’m asking how to get people out of a vengeance mentality and your answer is vengeance.
Cool good luck with that. Let me know how that goes.
I am sure you’re going to change the world by spreading your words on lemmy. Sounds like complaining to me.
🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Do explain how asking a question is complaining.
Look up the definition of complaining and get back to me
Sure, just as soon as you look up what vengeance means. Because, again, your suggestion for getting people out of a vengeance mentality is vengeance. While suggesting I’m disparaging Americans by suggesting they have a vengeance mentality.
