A person detained in the Everglades was handcuffed and left outdoors in the sun as punishment [View all]

They sure had no problem finding sadists to man their gulags.

This is really disturbing. A person detained in the Everglades was handcuffed and left outdoors in the sun as punishment for attempting to go on a hunger strike. As mosquitoes swarmed him, he pleaded with guards to bring him inside and was kept outside for nearly three hours.
