    forced into outdoor cages, which officials called “calming areas,” to “reflect on their behavior choices,”

    The propaganda in that wording is chilling

    We all know Florida is one of the hottest and most humid places in the country. It’s a form of torture, likely to cause death

    The people who came up with that wording are sick, evil people

      They should be left in the sun to calm down a bit and reflect on their behavior choices. Just to prove how lovely and therapeutic it is, of course.

      Plus also literally mosquito food in a place with encroaching new fun mosquito borne illnesses, as they’re trapped in a cage without any sort of protection. Absolutely deliberately cruel and unusual.

    In USA we do that to protesters, too. Not kidding, they are allowed to have little cages to stand in to protest, a ‘freedom cage’ if you will.

    From article…

    The degradation extended into every aspect of daily life. Inspectors documented insect-infested showers, filthy toilet facilities, restricted access to hygiene products, potentially contaminated drinking water and unsafe food-storage temperatures.

    Are they describing Alligator Alcatraz or a USA aircraft carrier?
