It should be easy. This is a horrific story. It should be easy to find other sources. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] chaogomu@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (1 child) As many others have pointed out, you're arguing in bad faith. Everyone knows damn well that a local story in a local newspaper will not have another source until maybe a national source picks it up, and guess what, those national sources will look at the fact that the Texas Observer is a fully trustworthy source who did the legwork on this story, and they will link back to it. It's a 100% true, horrific story. Or do you not believe that cops would do this sort of thing repeatedly in several states. Here's a selection of past stories on teens, and young teens at that, put in solitary for way longer than should ever be allowed. Watch out for the 13-year-old who committed suicide because of it, that one is a rough read. https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/too-young-shave-old-enough-solitary https://www.themarshallproject.org/2022/06/22/louisiana-limits-solitary-confinement-for-youth https://www.hrw.org/report/2012/10/10/growing-locked-down/youth-solitary-confinement-jails-and-prisons-across-united Cops are fucking bastards.
