and North Korea and busily pressing for their release. But the
US has conveniently kept totally silent about the huge numbers
of foreigners rotting away inside US jails and detention centers.
US jails and detention centers are horror stories in their own right.
Through long established practices, prisoners and detainees inside
these places are forced to experience the whole gamut of torture,
pain, fear, humiliation and other dark aspects of US jail life. The
most unfortunate are those who are underaged, women and those with
medical ailments. Not that healthy foreign men are safe at all.
US jails are filled with people who are usually much bigger physically
than the average foreigner and the prison staff and administrators
are all shady characters who are not much different than the human
traffickers and smugglers of S.E. Asia.
Many stories of pain and suffering and torture have emerged via those
fortunate enough to have obtained their freedom after a short spell
inside the hellholes of US jails. Some women had their private parts
'examined' by the US police or jail wardens, with some unhesitatingly
thrusting their fingers into those places for unknown reasons. And
these people doing such 'searching' were all male. Yet the US is
making all sorts of noises about a handful of its citizens who
deliberately tried to provoke overseas authorities by crossing
borders illegally although knowing that it was a wrong thing to do.
US jails are very overcrowded and filled with all sorts of people
from those sick with AIDS, hepatitis and other diseases to the
mentally ill and those who are outright dangerous to fellow detainees.
US and foreign prisoners share the same cells and inside these cells
today are at least 40,000 foreigners who speak little or no English.
US wardens are not bothered to learn non-English languages and thus
such foreigners often get badly mistreated. No wonder the would-be
immigrants from places like Haiti are left to drown when their boats
sank as they headed for US shores.
The demand for cheap labour and illicit drugs in the US has helped
to fuel the urge of many impoverished foreigners to enter illegally.
Some are lucky enough to make it and often were able to send money
home, but for the others it was a one-way trip to living hell.
As in the US, many of these detained people are left to rot inside
simply due to neglect and indifference. Many were caught without
personal documents at all and nobody wants to accept them. For these
people the future is only the four walls of a prison cell. There is
no escape since they are also too poor to bribe their way out. The
hypocritical US should think about these people and not some bad
mischievous filthy rich individuals who know better than to break
the laws of other countries. Others break the law out of ignorance,
poverty or trickery by others but they are the ones who are left
to rot away inside dank dirty hellholes. Life today is indeed full
of hypocrisy, no thanks to the dirty and crooked evil white man.
