the correct way to force prison systems to follow the law and their regulations, is called a "consent decree". it forces them under penalty of law, to actually live up to specific terms in a settlement.

unfortunately; they are now banned ... "just for prisons". the courts will not enforce, or create any new consent decrees... "because it denies agencies their discretion".

the same discretion, that leads to rampant abuses in prisons and "detention" camps.
