NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A civil liberties group says a Louisiana jail humiliates suicidal prisoners by forcing them to wear skimpy shorts that say "Hot Stuff" on the rear and confines them in tiny cells more narrow than a dog's cage.....

Seems to fall far short of the definition of "torture" - forcing them to wear panties on their head.

Hot stuff and squirrel cages. Shoosh, must be one hell of a prison. Is the ACLU even literate, squirrel cages for humans. What do they think is squirrel cage?
To: JoeProBono
At least their shorts don’t say “BOHICA”

"humiliates suicidal prisoners" Recall that these particular prisoners happen to be suicidal
Imprisonment is quite enough. We needn't pile on. It is not appropriate to kick a man when he's down.
If we need long sentences, great. If we need to cut costs, make prisons less costly. If we need capital punishment, convict, sentence and carry it out quickly.
But humiliating suicidal people is immoral.

Didn't the ACLU have a pedophile in charge for a while?
The ACLU has all the credibility of global warming "scientists" or the poodle Al Gore... the liar Ward Churchill - the KKK Sen. Byrd... various dem rapists...
What the ACLU thinks is a yawn.

Barney Frank has immediately scheduled a fact finding mission with “Hot Bottom” Gobie as a consultant.
Rumor has it Lindsey Graham is begging to become part of the team.

It is not appropriate to kick a man when he's down. Of course not. Wait till he's half way up, better leverage that way.

But humiliating suicidal people is immoral. I agree with you on this point.

If this weren’t the ACLU talking, I would agree with you. I don’t trust the ACLU to accurately report much of anything.

We’re not dems. Don’t play into their hands by pretending to be what their wet dream is of us...

The worst thing you can do to a Muslim man is to make him wear skimpy shorts with “Hot Stuff” on the rear.
The worst.
Really, the WORST!

I don’t care where you’re from, that’s funny.
