Suit says guards made inmates fight 'gladiator-style' in St. Louis jail : Stltoday

The suit, filed on behalf of seven inmates who were attackers, victims or both, says that at least one attack was caught on camera.

Some inmates named in the suit were both victim and attacker, the suit claims. Lawyers for those inmates say guards sometimes used promises of special privileges, extra food and snacks to enlist an attacker. Other times, they say, an inmate was himself threatened with attack unless he agreed to fight.

The lawsuit seeks class status to represent all inmates who may have been involved. It also asks a judge to order the removal of prisoners from the workhouse and for $150 million or more in damages.

Sam Dotson, St. Louis' director of operations, had not yet seen the suit when interviewed by a reporter. He said that the incident on the surveillance tape had been brought to the attention of police and prosecutors by jail staff and officials, and that the guards were immediately placed on leave and criminally charged.

They, as in the criminals? They, have no say in no matter because they, have lost their freedom. The basic human "right."

So are you trying to sympathize for these people or what. Speak freely.

lol @ you acting like I'm saying something strange when you're ready to pull their brains out on some medieval sh1t. Breh these people have committed a range of crimes and most of them are to be released. Officer Rickys have no right to start organizing random fight clubs in there.

To what extent do you think someone who's committed mail fraud has "lost their rights"? Is it okay to cook soup from their femur ? Why isn't that kinda thing part of their sentence instead of being done in a total random way depending on which jail admin wants to be an a$$hole?

Wait did you say they've lost their freedom in the sense of human rights? If you're going to be a sadistic authoritarian at least don't be confused about it. Losing freedom in the sense of being confined isn't the same as losing your freedom as a citizen or human being. Two entirely different concepts.

People that have committed crimes shouldn't be locked up. They should either be exiled or killed. That's how I feel on it.

They've lost their literal and most of their citizen/human freedom.

Prove me wrong.
