From the supplier: The new supermaximum-security prison in Florence, CO, represents the US government's commitment to harsh crime punishment. Although it was welcomed in the economically depressed town, it has generated protests from prisoners and prison advocates who deplore the occurrences of human rights violations, racial discrimination and toxic exposure in the control-unit prison. Moreover, its use of the Marion model of total isolation and sensory deprivation is a symbol of the US government's version of social justice for prisoners.
