As if US jails weren't already reprehensible and embarrassingly bad enough.

This is not just punishing the inmate, this is punishing their extended family and anyone who cares about them as well.

Some people just don't appear to care about being labeled "morally bankrupt". By the time they're done, police, judges and jails will be superfluous because society will have no values left to protect.

The latter is somewhat tongue-in-cheek of course, but this is definitely narrowing the moral gap between jailers and inmates even further.

Absolutely embarrassing for any modern society.
