The tone of this article that describes the conditions as inhumane and grotesque to the subject of the article feels real weird. It's not just dehumanizing to the one innocent person there, it's grotesque to treat anyone like we treat our prisoners. (Especially those not yet convicted.)

While I recognize the impact to this one man was serious, and I hope he gets the help and support he needs to recover, we need to stop thinking about these one off failures in the system and start looking at what our prisons and policing do to everyone who passes through their custody.
