Mexican Prisoner Abuse

This story is truly horrifying. Mexican prisoners are being deprived of flat screen TV’s, cell phones, pizza deliveries, and sex.

They’re being treated “like dogs” and being forced to live in these “sub human” conditions.

Heartwrenching.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Deprived of their flat-screen TVs, mobile phones, pizza deliveries and long visits from lovers, inmates at Mexico’s top security prison complained on Monday they are being treated “like dogs.”
A government crackdown in prisons, aimed especially at drug lords and other violent criminals, has the prisoners of La Palma jail close to Mexico City up in arms at the “subhuman” conditions they face.

On Monday, they paid for a full-page advertisement in Mexico’s top daily Reforma and called on President Vicente Fox to respect their human rights. They also want the right to buy the soft drinks of their choice from the jail’s small store.
