    The US is infamous for its overuse of solitary confinement, which is far more inhumane than prison labour. Like, can easily drive you insane and cause you to self harm and commit suicide. I don’t care how hard the work in a gulag is, it does not come close to what solitary can do to you.

      Doesn’t hunt you with dogs either. Mississippi state pen used to be Parchman Farm. Good reading to be had on that.
