this is symptomatic of the decline of america.
building prisons is one of the last great growth opportunities in the country. and private corporations are making money off of this. just like the unscrupulous, predatory State in india brutalizes citizens, unscrupulous, predatory businesses do.
i cannot believe that this man, who was a LEGAL IMMIGRANT, was denied due process of law and simply incarcerated for something that seems pretty minor. and then killed.
and they are not getting justice. i'd urge hindu activists in the US to look into this case of miscarriage of justice and sue the correction corporation and the dept of homeland security.
anybody remember the case of rajan pillai in india? the 'biscuit king' was jailed, denied treatment for diabetes (it is rumored that this was arranged by a business rival who wanted control of britannia biscuits), and died, choking on his own vomit in a filthy jail cell.
massive human rights violations happen everywhere, but in the US at least, there should be accountability. except, apparently, if it is a brown man, and specifically a hindu.
