Officials fooling the politicians with fingers-crossed-behind-back weasel words. Wantonly creating "exemptions" for themselves to disobey clear laws. All while knowingly hurting individuals and damaging communities for a few scraps of extorted money. The level of Evil here (yes with the cap) has reached cartoon villain proportions. We probably need a constitutional amendment (the current interpretation of the 8th doesn't seem to be cutting it) detailing prisoners' rights and a separate federal oversight organisation to enforce it. States seem to have been goofing at this for quite some time now and seem powerless to stop it.
