High security or generally poor conditions are one thing, and maybe expected in prison. But if the description provided is accurate that's torture, which is illegal even in the US. The "get out of jail free" card is that the authorities then twist the definition in a manner where the same thing is only torture when any other country is doing it. The Stasi would be extra proud of the US.
