A prison == purgatory, typologically speaking, and I suppose we
shouldn't let this (corporate media and 'human rights' activism created)
storm-in-a-teacup distract us from the real one: the purgatories in
which Americans hold their prisoners, both on mainland USA and in
Afghanistan. Both inside designated prisons and otherwise.
I suppose this whole 'discourse' (and may the blessed bleeding hearts of
this world fester upon it) basically works as a distraction, this
attention fawned upon a few individuals arraigned in a specific space
hogging up too much, way too much media space.
Flake and chaff, distracting the world's attention while I wonder what
americanities are being committed behind this mask.

using independent little cells, as opposed to cells in a larger, more
traditional prison, insures:
-- the prisoners have even less privacy, mainly from each other
-- photo ops (pictures showing the orange-red clad prisoners praying
outside
their little huts were very compelling)
