Students arrested during the police crackdown on protests at universities in New York City last week were denied water and food for 16 hours, according to two faculty members at Columbia University’s Barnard College who collected reports from students who were inside.
Other students reported that they were beaten by New York City Police Department officers after their arrests and taken to the hospital for injuries before being returned to central booking. Photos of the injuries were provided to The Intercept.
Other students reported that they were held in mouse-infested cells, along with the general population of the jail. The students told the professors that they weren’t given water or food for 16 hours and that at least one student was left without shoes for the same period of time.
I think you and google are missing the difference between Jail, Prison, and Holding Cells. the combined unit you show is only common in Prison and long term county lvl jails; for cities/town/district jails and holding cells they may or may not even have a toilet as they are designed around an 4-8hr stay limit.
Most likely what happened is that a district detention got overwhelmed and just placed people in secure locations and lost track of them. Hanlon’s razor.

Well it’s good to know you are a cop (BS of CJ), as it means you aren’t an engineer. Given that I have designed jails, courthouses, and police stations I can say that your BS means basically nothing in this as you are mostly trained in criminal law rather than building code.
Holding time, local building code, and CA budget are the biggest constraints for the buildings in question. 4-8hrs holding period does not require and often doesn’t get a plumbing connection.
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.
