I believe it's also harder on you if you're mentally ill, and so because the torture is likely to provoke or worsen mental illness, it becomes worse torture the longer it continues. To be fair, most if not all tortures have this quality. The Ashley Smith case up in Canada is also terrible - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Smith_inquest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Smith_inquest - the girl killed herself in solitary while guards watched as they were instructed not to intervene. It would be nice if there were a point where prisoners were guaranteed transfer to a psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane.

Wow, thanks for that link, that is amazing. So a child is flinging crabapples (which are tiny) at the mailman. Rather than ignore it or tell her to cut it out, she is arrested and put in the system to teach her a lesson where she is brutalized with progressive increasing severity, making her more and more angry, and misbehave more and more, getting charged with trespassing and creating a disturbance. Finally, with her never having committed anything that most rational people would consider serious crimes, she turns 18 and they lock her in adult prison in solitary confinement where she kills herself in despair. According to http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/2009-2010/out_of_control/ http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/2009-2010/out_of_control/ the crab apple flinging charge ended up resulting in a total of 4 years hard prison time. The methods used against this child by the Canadian authorities are quite interesting. In this article we find that they would transfer her from place to place wearing a black hood, CIA torture/Guatanamo Bay style, and drugged with powerful sedatives administered without oversight of competent medical authorities: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/10/31/ashley-smith-inquest-scope.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/10/31/ashley-smith-.... From this it is clear her abuse was not something that just happened at a single rogue facility. If you beat your dog everyday and it finally bites you, is it a bad dog? Is the dog mentally ill? I see she was adopted and is obviously from her appearance an indigenous first nations child. It's quite common for these children to be kidnapped from their nations by the canadian government in order to be resocialized away from their culture under the guise of protecting them and the premise that first nations people are incapable of caring for their own children and exposure to their own culture is a form of abuse. It's a racist and genocidal policy the goal of which is to exterminate their ethnicity and culture. This has been called "The Lost Generation". http://www.akha.org/content/missiondocuments/thelostgeneration.pdf http://www.akha.org/content/missiondocuments/thelostgenerati...

  Yeah, it's just tragic isn't it... the video is hard to watch. I'd say it's a dog with a spiritual dis-ease that did something violent.
