doctors and prison abuse

it seems that the medical staff at abu ghraib were complicit in at least some of the abuse that’s been documented to date.

no links from me, since all the source material seems to be locked up behind registration things, and there’s plenty of coverage for this story elsewhere.

go looking for stories from dr. stephen miles about the prison, and you’ll find everything you need to know.

my two cents is something i’ve said since this story broke. i doubt this is substantially different than abuse in american prisons, but that story isn’t being told much. i just don’t think you can have that many people in prison, with that big an industry supporting it, and run a “clean” system.
