Texas prison shuts after riot http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-31582456
Article cites ACLU's comment on poor hygiene and medical care in prison. It's primarily an immigration-related prison. Shame on the govt and that management company.

Countries should protest this vile situation to the UN. Not that I think it'll change anything soon. But I bet international pressure will help, eventually.
