( 2:49 PM ) shut up christine
acquiesce: (verb) to give consent by keeping silent
they smashed *'s fingers, then made him scrub the floor with his hands
in other jails, pregnant women receive some kind of marking, like a different colored uniform. here they don't. they beat a pregnant woman until she lost her baby
an obese man couldn't fit thru the door of his cell so they pretzeled him (tied his arms behind his back, and then cuffed his feet to his hands). they left him like this for a couple hours, then dragged him thru the cell door, ripping the skin on his sides
this jail has a reputation for being ridiculously and unnecessarily severe. granted, the accounts i've heard are one sided because i never interact with the jail officers, only with the people who've been released. i'm sure the officers have their reasons. they have a difficult job and i can't imagine the kinds of things they have to deal with. but killing a pregnant woman? what could she have done that would in any way justify what happened?
for over a year i haven't said anything
my excuse: what could I possibly do? such a convenient question to hide behind
this is not some far-away international torture camp. this is my backyard, this person is standing next to me
what could i possibly do
