First world problems

What it's like here in the richest nation on Earth where the people and the laws are very civilized and freedom loving and such.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A Louisiana prison brutally punishes suicidal and mentally ill inmates by isolating them for months or even years, chaining them to wooden chairs and opening windows to expose them to extreme cold, a federal lawsuit claims.

The class action, filed Tuesday, asks the court to rule that prison officials are subjecting inmates at David Wade Correctional Center in Homer to unconstitutional “cruel and unusual punishment.” It also seeks a court-ordered end to the “extreme, abusive conditions” at the north Louisiana prison.

LOL, very funny, Jeff. You had us going there. But see, that is Louisiana which everybody knows is only technically part of First World America where they have the common decency to let the bounty hunters do all the criminal justice stuff for them.
