Cages are disabling and traumatizing environments. As a result, captives suffer from low morale. They also suffer from a variety of human rights abuses that are committed by jail and prison officials such as torture and “extremely-poor-quality health care.” These forms of violence are state-sanctioned. Therefore, we can’t expect meaningful oversight of Ohio’s concentration camps to come from the state.
