A prison so packed that people on suicide watch are sleeping in 5-by-5-foot holding cages. A disabled Vietnam veteran sent to segregation after his peers attacked him. Incarcerated people spending months in solitary confinement, not because of misconduct inside the prison, but because they’re waiting for a bed to become available elsewhere.

These were among the conditions of confinement described by a prison employee in an email shared with NC Newsline.

    Pretty much all of them.

    You’re free to go whenever you want. Just know that when you renounce your US citizenship, you can’t get it back.

      Not really true though. Getting citizenship isn’t easy or cheap for the European countries worth going to. The requirements for them are stiff or not possible coming from the US. and renouncing seems to be an ask and not enforced.

        European countries worth going to.

        So I guess beggars can be choosers.
