The idea of not having access to a private toilet when you have your period is a literal, actual nightmare.

"There was no access to a toilet, so guards told the women – whose accounts in some cases occurred on different days or different buses – to urinate or defecate on the floor... "

Jail sucks. Next time someone glamorizes jail time, kick them in the crotch.

This is inhuman treatment, being brought on by people who have become fully demonic.

Cruelty is the purpose, not the symptom. Whatever you could think of that could be deemed cruel and unusual is what will happen at least the next 4 years.

If they didn't have a toilet I'm sure they didn't have any period supplies.

“One witnessed a cellmate wait 12 hours to receive two sanitary napkins while on her period.”

Trump's cruelty has no limits. He and those who work for him are horrible people.

Surely this counts as torture?

I’ve had clients detained as political prisoners in Burundi during the genocide who were given a liter of water a day, & a 5 1/2 gallon bucket for a toilet. Sounds similar.

They mocked Tim Walz for making tampons available, so in their fucked up sick way this is consistent.

Yes but and, detention centers have always been this terrible, even under democratic presidents. Let’s be outraged now but continue our outrage no matter who is in office

snikpoh.bsky.social•4 days ago

“But the women's allegations at Krome, which was one of the 17 centers reviewed in the report, suggest detention conditions have deteriorated rapidly as the new Trump administration works to deliver on the president's promises for tougher immigration enforcement.”

maunicas.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes, no doubt that the conditions have worsened under Trump but they've always been terrible. We need to keep up the outrage no matter who is president.

Great, bring this up in 4 years. Your point is completely irrelevant now and borders on dismissive.

How is this shit even legal? What the hell can we do?

When will all the folks concerned about human rights abuses happening in other countries acknowledge that the problem is here in the US, it’s been here for a long time, and it’s getting much worse now?

jedleonard.bsky.social•5 days ago

Meanwhile, the administration isn't even trying to deny these human rights abuses, let alone explain them. The line instead is "but we think they deserve it."
