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.
