The denied water part seems strange. Most American jails have water fountain toilet combos like this:
That is not a general population holding cell. That is the nicest jail cell I have seen.
I wouldn't be surprised if that image is a jail for "white collar" crimes or not even in the US
The cell itself is pretty nice and non gen pop but I was more so just using it because it was one of the first pictures that popped up showing one.
The first picture you find ≠ most American jails.
Both of you STFU. Walk away from your computer, go touch grass. The worst of Reddit doesn't have to follow us here
This is quite an ironic comment.
I've been in cells without toilets or water. They're designed for temporary holding (an hour or so), for things like waiting on transportation or intake, for example.
Wtf do you mean by most?
Yea and even the holding cells have those. Usually behind a half wall where it's not really private but its sorta blocking your business.
Those sink/toilet combos are what had Dems claiming migrants were "drinking out of toilets".
Jesus Christ dude
What?
I see this thread got brigaded by down voters.
You went out of your way to make it political. The thread was not "brigaded", people just don't like that shit
If it makes you feel any better I am very much a Democrat. So it was a little bit of criticizing "my own team" so to speak.
But I can see how it reads in hindsight. Haha I sound like my grandpa at Thanksgiving.
