“Around 2 a.m., the convoy of 22 buses, flanked by armored vehicles and police, moved out of the airport. Soldiers and police lined the 25-mile route to the prison, with thick patrols at every bridge and intersection… for a Venezuelan plucked from America, it must have appeared dystopian—police and soldiers for miles and miles in woodland darkness.”

“The intake began with slaps. One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. But maybe it’s only because he didn’t look like what I had expected—he wasn’t a tattooed monster.”

@dalfen@mstdn.social“The men were pulled from the buses so fast the guards couldn’t keep pace. Chained at their ankles and wrists, they stumbled and fell, some guards falling to the ground with them. With each fall came a kick, a slap, a shove. The guards grabbed necks and pushed bodies into the sides of the buses as they forced the detainees forward.“

“Inside the intake room, a sea of trustees descended on the men with electric shavers, stripping heads of hair with haste. The guy who claimed to be a barber began to whimper, folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell. He was slapped. The man asked for his mother, then buried his face in his chained hands and cried as he was slapped again.”

“After being shaved, the detainees were stripped naked. More of them began to whimper; the hard faces I saw on the plane had evaporated. It was like looking at men who passed through a time machine. In two hours, they aged 10 years. Their nice clothes were not gathered or catalogued but simply thrust into black garbage bags to be thrown out with their hair.”

~ “They entered their cold cells, 80 men per cell, w/ steel planks for bunks, no mats, no sheets, no pillow. No television. No books. No talking. No phone calls & no visitors… It was exile to another world, a place so cold and far from home they may as well have been sent into space, nameless and forgotten… it was as if I watched them become ghosts.”

And they are neighbours, innocent, bakers, drivers. They look like this because its war, against you.
This is theatre. Oppression theatre. And they put people in chains for saying Trump doesn't fund science well.
They have machines in your pocket, on your shelf, and on your desk, and at your front door, recording your love of dear leader.
This is oppression theatre, they are no more guilty than you are.
And this is who wants to conquer Canada.
If effectiveness is what's confusing here, the prisoners are not the point.
The "guards" are being turned into monsters, its training new psychopaths. And you are being assaulted with horror. Those are the two objectives. It was designed by professional monsters. This is what they intended.
Its even more horrific than it looks. Broken humans.
@kevinrns True. El Salvador also has a mega prison system to maintain— almost an industry of its own. I read that the president of El Salvador said that the money his country receives from foreign nations that ship it prisoners will keep the prison system sustainable (that’s in one of my pinned posts).
