Details of "Texans Against Prison Abuse"Date Submitted:
11/06/2007
Description:
Horrific abuses, some similar to those revealed in Iraq, regularly occur in U.S. prisons with little national attention or public outrage.
We see many of the same kinds of things here in the United States, including molestive assualts and the abuse of prisoners.
Prisoners have been molested, abused by guards and humiliated but we don't talk about it much in America and we certainly don't hear the president expressing outrage.
There are deadly inadequacies' in healthcare that plague inmate wards. Gaps in evaluating care let some mistakes go unnoticed. Some come out of the state's 105 prisons sicker than they went in. Too frequently, they take strains of drug-resistant HIV into what inmates call the free world. Others are neglected or simply "left to die." Most of the information regarding prison health care is kept secret by legislative enactment.
Texas prison inmates live in fear. The more vulnerable inmates are molested, beaten, owned, and sold by more powerful ones. Despite their pleas to prison officials, they are often refused protection.
Correctional officers continue to rely on the physical control of excessive force to enforce order.
Many inmates are locked away in administrative segregation, especially those with mental illnesses,and subjected to extreme deprivations and daily psychological harm.
Texans Against Prison Abuse was established in order to provide Texas Prisoners, the Families of Texas Prisoners and Texas Prisoners Advocates with a much needed Socio-Political forum from which to promote established principles of Social Justice, consistent with Human Rights.
