In US Prison, Inmates Tortured with Children's Song; They Have Filed a Lawsuit

In a prison in Oklahoma, inmates were subjected to listening to the children's song 'Baby Shark' for hours in uncomfortable positions as punishment, reports NBC News citing the lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit filed this week, inmates at the Oklahoma jail have endured cruel and inhumane punishment, being forced to listen to 'Baby Shark' for several hours in uncomfortable postures, the network reports.

The lawsuit was filed by four men who were in pretrial detention at the Oklahoma County Jail at the end of 2019. The complaint states that the prison staff had not been properly trained, and the administration was aware that the officers who applied this punishment had previously been convicted of cruel treatment, yet no actions were taken.
