It's unbelievable and horrifying how far our country has sunk. Our country is now ruled by heartless, hateful, racist, and corrupt politicians and opportunistic corporations/business people who have no problem monetizing the extreme misery of people for their own purposes. And apparently, there is no shortage of guards and other employees who have no problem treating innocent people so unfairly and horribly. This saddens and depresses me to my core.
