The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

According to the article the conditions in the jail were just deplorable to the point of being torture which is also common in the US. So that's also comparable.
Really? I haven’t heard of that. Where have you heard of jail cells with water across the whole floor and no furniture?
If you can provide evidence, I’ll change my mind.
The US literally has the Guatanamo Bay concentration camp for political prisoners so they could legally torture them.
If you want something more domestic then I'm sure one of those had some water or furniture related death: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-jails-deaths/ Though from what I understand in the US death by cop is the most likely.
