In a report published on Thursday, three U.N.-appointed experts said they had found practices in U.S. prisons that amounted to “an affront to human dignity” in visits in April and May.
The U.S. diplomatic mission in Geneva declined to comment. The Federal Bureau of Prisons said it was committed to ensuring the safety and security of incarcerated individuals as well as employees and the public.
One such practice is restraining and shackling women prisoners during childbirth, the report said.
The experts “heard, first hand, unbearable direct testimonies of pregnant women shackled during labour, who due to the chaining, lost their babies”, it said. Asked to give details, a U.N. rights spokesperson referred to “several” cases and confirmed they all involved Black women.
That’s kinda like saying you can’t be racist against white people. You’re disparaging over 330 million people based on your hateful prejudices.
see, you dodge the actual point, by claiming you’re being oppressed in some way… you’re all the same brand of coward…
i say you are incapable of dignity, and you respond with whining… who is winning the argument…
You really need to work on that reading comprehension, buddy. It’s not whining to call someone a hateful bigot. Because, you are a hateful bigot.
He… does have a point. I haven’t really seen anyone attack his premises, only the way he’s presented them. Our shanty towns grow larger and more numerous by the day it seems, along with injustices like that mentioned in the article. There are 330 million of us and we’re kinda letting this happen.
That said… psh. We could still kick his ass?
He’s not, though. He’s asserting that the actions of our government reflect the will of the people, and that hasn’t been true for a very long time.
America has a stupid amount of different cultures that influence the country, so saying we have no culture and don’t value human life is inaccurate.
i’ll have an order of tentative acknowledgement, with an ice cold glass of complaining about the tone of honesty, and a slice of bravado for dessert
Aren’t you just adorable? : )
i’m gonna let you know when i need your opinion on that, sweetheart… but i appreciate it… i surely do… coming from your sweet ass…
but you are entirely correct if it seems like i’m not competing for this year’s Sweetheart Ribbon at the County Fair
you try to shield yourself from all truth with claims of oppression or unfairness… it’s cowardly…
No, I’m just attempting to point out that you’re being a bigoted asshole. It’s no different than saying all Italians are spaghetti eating mobsters.
You’re trying to disparage an entire population based on a rather bizarre and totally inaccurate preconceived notion.
you wish
Alright, what are you basing your claims on? You’re clearly not from the US, and I’d bet money you’ve never visited or even spoken at length in person to an American citizen.
