          Barbaric Treatment Of People

               Wth Mental illness

                            Alen J Salerian MD

    Innocent people with mental or physical pain accused of crime are treated as second-class citizens.  Barbaric treatment includes the following:

  Slave labor – coerced labor for $.75 per day.

  Unsafe living conditions with  people housed in small cells with dangerous criminals.

  Routine humiliating psychologically and sexually abusivei visual inspection of  stretching buttocks and genitals.

  Routine behavioral modification by punitive measures that includes SHU  solitary confinement  ( one hour of fresh air and 23 hour of semi darkness),

Routine behavioral modification by  threats and or forced eating own body products i.e. feces and urine.

   I'm sure we are much better than what's practiced at FMC BUTNER and it's up to us  to treat people with dignity regardless of where when or why.
